Loreena Mckennitt - Blacksmith
A Blacksmith Courted Me Nine Months And Better He Fairly Won My Heart Wrote Me A Letter He Looked Quite Clever With His Hammer In His Hand And If I Was With My Love I'd Live Forever. But Where Is My Love Gone And His Good Black Billycock On With His Cheeks Like Roses Will Shine And Burn His Beauty Decked Round With Primroses I'm Afraid The Scorching Sun I'd Do My Duty. And If I Was With My Love Strange News Is Coming To Town Strange News Flies Up And Down Strange News Is Carried I Wish Them Both Much Joy That My Love Is Married. And May God Reward Him Well Though They Can't Hear Me For The Slighting Of Me. Don't You Remember When And You Said You'd Marry Me You Lay Beside Me It Was Only For To Try You And Not Deny Me If I Said I'd Marry You So Bring Your Witness Love No Witness Have I None And I'll Not Deny You. And May He Reward You Well Save God Almighty For The Slighting Of Me Her Lips Grew Pale And Wan It Made Her Poor Heart Tremble To Think She Loved A One And He Proved Deceitful. Nine Months And Better A Blacksmith Courted Me Wrote Me A Letter With His Hammer In His Hand He Fairly Won My Heart And If I Was With My Love He Looked Quite Clever I'd Live Forever
