Текст (слова) песни: Loreena McKennitt - Blacksmith
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 round with primroses I`m afraid the scorching sun Will shine and burn his beauty And if I was with my love I`d do my duty. Strange news is coming to town Strange news is carried Strange mews 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. 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. 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 be proved deceitful. 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.
