'''The Blacksmith Courted Me'''

[[Roud 816]]

version from [[Tom Willett]] - as sung on ''[[The Roving Journeymen (LP)|The Roving Journeymen]]'' (Topic LP)

#Oh the blacksmith courted me, for six months and better When he first gained my heart, he wrote to me a letter With his hammer all in his hand which he strikes so mighty and clever Now if I was with my love, I should live for ever 
#Now my love is gone across those fields, with his cheeks like the roses Now I'm afraid the burning sun will scorch and spoil his beauty Then if I was with my love, I would do my duty 
#Now bad news have come to town, that my love is married But I wish him all most joy, but he's not here tor to hear me I shall never die for love, young man believe me 
#Do you know what you promised me when you first knowed me You promised you would marry me, you only done it to deceive me But I wish you all most joy, but he's not here for to hear me I shall never die for love young man believe me.
