The Blacksmith

   Am            G         Em    
He bravely won my heart, wrote me
     Am
 a letter
         C             Em       
With his hammer in his hand, he 
Am        G
looked quite clever
       Am             Em    C    
And if I was with my love, I'd 
           Am
live forever


[Verse 2]
    Am               G            
But where is my love gone, with 
  Em            Am
his cheeks like roses?
        Am                   G    
And his good black billycock on, 
   Em               Am
all crowned with primroses
     C                   Em     
I'm afraid the scorching sun will 
   Am                G
shine and burn his beauty
       Am             Em    C    
And if I were with my love, I'd 
       Am
do my duty

[Verse 3]
        Am               G   
Strange news has come to town, 
          Em         Am
strange news is carried
        Am                G       
Strange news flies up and down 
     Em            Am
that my love, he's married
  C                   Em          
I wish them both much joy, though 
Am             G
they can't hear me
        Am              Em        
And may god reward them well for 
   C            Am
the slighting of me


[Verse 4]
       Am           G              
"Don't you remember well, when you 
Em         Am
lay beside me
        Am               G       
And you said you'd marry me, and 
Em       Am
not deny me"
      C              Em          
"If I said I'd marry you, it was 
Am              G
only for to try you
   Am                  Em        
So bring your witness, love, and 
C             Am
I'll not deny you"


[Verse 5]
    Am             G          Em 
Oh, witness have I none, save god
   Am
 almighty
        Am            G           
And may he reward you well, for 
  Em           Am
the slighting of me
    C                  Em      Am
Her lips grew pale and wan, it 
                      G
made her poor heart tremble
N.C.
To think she loved a one, and he 
proved deceitful
