The Blacksmith Lyrics by Trú (NI)

No Fixed Abode

0

[Verse 1]
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 him now
I would live forever
[Verse 2]
But where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
And his good black Billycock on
Decked around with primroses
I fear the shining sun
May burn and scorch his beauty
And if I was with my love
I would do my duty
[Verse 3]
Strange news is come 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 a poor heart tremble
To think she loved a one
And he proved deceitful
