The Blacksmith Courted Me
version from Tom Willett - as sung on 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.
