The Blacksmith

Am                    G         
A blacksmith courted me, nine 
Em         Am
months and better
Am                    G         
He fairly won my heart; he wrote
Em         Am
 me a letter
           C           Em     
With his hammer in his hand, he 
    Am        G
looked so clever,
       Am               Em        
And if I were with my love, I 
   C           Am
would live forever.

Am                    G          
"O, where is my love gone, with 
     Em         Am
his cheeks like roses?
Am                    G         
He is gone across the sea, 
Em         Am
gathering primroses
           C           Em      
I'm afraid the shining sun might 
   Am                   G
burn and scorch his beauty,
       Am               Em        
And if I were with my love, I 
   C           Am
would do my duty.

Am                           G   
"Strange news is a-come to town, 
          Em         Am
strange news is a-carried,
Am                           G   
Strange news flies up and down 
      Em         Am
that my love is a-married
           C              Em      
O, I wish them both much joy, 
   Am               G
though they don't hear me
       Am               Em        
And if I were with my love, I 
   C           Am
would do my duty.

Am                         G     
"O, what did you promise me when 
    Em         Am
you lay beside me?
Am                    G         
You said you'd marry me, and not
Em         Am
 deny me."
           C           Em         
"If I said I'd marry you, 'twas 
Am        G
only to try you,
       Am               Em     
So bring your witness, love, and 
      C           Am
I'll not deny you."

Am                    G         
"O, witness have I none save God
Em         Am
 Almighty
Am                    G          
And may He reward you well for 
     Em         Am
the slighting of me."
           C           Em         
Her lips grew pale and wan; it 
Am                  G
made her poor heart tremble
       Am               Em        
For to think she had loved one, 
   C           Am
and he proved deceitful.
