Blacksmith Lyrics - The Journey Begins [4 Cd] - Loreena Mckennitt

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. 

But where is my love gone 

With his cheeks like roses 

And his good black billycock on 

Decked round with primroses 

I'm afraid the scorching sun 

Will 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 lay 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 her 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.
