A blacksmith [G] bought of me [Dm] nine [G] months and [D] better,
_ He fairly won [C] my heart, [Dm] wrote me a letter.
With his hammer [G] [A] in his hand, [Dm] he looked quite [C] clever,
_ [D] And if I were with my love, I would live forever.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ Oh, where has [C] my love gone with [D] his [G] cheeks like [D] roses,
_ And his good black pearly [C] cargo [D] necked round with _ [Dm] primroses?
I'm afraid [G] the shining [A] sun [Dm] might burn and [C] scorch his beauty,
[D] And if I were with my love, I would [G] do my [Dm] duty.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Strange news has come [C] to town, [Dm] strange [G] news is [Dm] carried,
_ Strange news [C] goes up and down, [D] that my love [Dm] is married.
_ And I [G] wish them both [A] great joy, [D] though they [C] don't hear me,
[D] And may God reward him well for the slighting of me.

_ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ What did you [C] promise me [Dm] when you [C] lay [Dm] beside me?
And you said you'd [C] marry me [Dm] and [C] not [Dm] deny me.
If I said [G] I'd [A] marry you, it [Dm] was only [C] for to try you,
[Dm] So bring your witness, love, and I'll not deny you.
_ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ Oh, witness, [C] I have none [Dm] [G] save God [Dm] Almighty,
And may he [C] reward you well [Dm] for the [C] [Dm] slighting of me.
Her lips [G] grew [A] pale and warm, [Dm] it made her [C] poor heart tremble,
[Dm] To think she loved a whole one, and he proved deceitful.
