Paroles de The Blacksmith

Planxty
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 quite clever
And if i was with my love, i'd live forever
But where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
And his good black billycock on
Decked around with primroses
I'm afraid the scorching sun will shine and burn his beauty
And if i was with my love, i would do my duty
Strange news has come to town
Strange news is carried
Strange news flys up and flys down
That my love is married
Well i wish them both much joy
Though they cant hear me
And my god reward him well
For the slighting of me
Do you remember love
When you lay down beside me
You said you'd marry me
And would not deny me
If i said i'd marry you
It was only for to try you
So bring your witness now
And i'll not deny you
Oh! 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 her poor heart tremble
To think she loved only one
And he proved deceitful
