Loreena McKennitt - Blacksmith Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • blacksmith courted me nine months and better
  • He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter
  • With his hammer in his hand, he looked quite clever
  • And if I was with my love, I'd live forever
  • But where is my love gone with his cheeks like roses?
  • And his good black Billy***** on, decked 'round with primroses?
  • I hope the scorching sun won't shine and burn his beauty
  • And if I was with my love, I'd do my duty
  • Strange news is coming to town, strange news is carried
  • Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
  • I wish them both much joy though they can't hear me
  • And may God reward him well for the slighting of me
  • "Don't you remember when you laid beside me?
  • And you said you'd marry me and not deny me?"
  • "If I said I'd marry you, it was only for to try you
  • So bring your witness, love, and I'll not deny you"
  • "No witness have I none, save God Almighty
  • And may He reward you well for the slighting of me"
  • Her lips grew pale and wan, it made a poor heart tremble
  • To think she loved a one and he proved deceitful
  • A blacksmith courted me nine months and better
  • He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter
  • With his hammer in his hand, he looked quite clever
  • And if I was with my love, I'd live forever
