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 so clever
And if I was with my love, I'd live forever
And where is my love gone with his cheeks like roses?
And his good dog Billy goat decked with his primroses?
I'm afraid his caution soon will shine and burn his beauty
And if I was with my love, I'd do my duty
Strange news is come to town, strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
I weep to lose my joy, though they don't heed me
And may God reward him well for the slighting of me
Don't you remember how you lay beside me?
You said you would marry me, oh, but deny me
If I said I'd marry you, it was only for to try you
So bring your witness, love, and I'll never deny you
No witness have I none, save God Almighty
And may He reward you well for the slighting of me
How live through ball and wand? It makes a poor heart tremble
To think she loved her one and be proved deceitful

Ah, blacksmith, blacksmith
Fa-fa-la-la-la, blacksmith
Blacksmith, blacksmith
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
