[00:03.443]A blacksmith courted me nine months or better
[00:08.961]He fairly won my heart, wrote me a letter
[00:14.695]With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever
[00:20.701]And if I were with my love I would live forever
[00:27.198]Oh where has my love gone with his cheeks like roses
[00:32.457]He is gone across the sea gathering primroses
[00:38.450]I'm afraid the shining sun might burn and scorch his beauty
[00:44.694]And if I were with my love I would do my duty
[01:14.450]Strange news is a-come to town, strange news is carried
[01:17.445]Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
[01:25.701]Oh I wish them both great joy, though they don't hear me
[01:31.446]And if I were with my love I would do my duty
[01:38.450]What did you promise me when you lay beside me
[01:43.457]You said you'd marry me and not deny me
[01:49.205]If I said I'd marry you that was only to try you
[01:55.444]So bring your witness love and I'll not deny you
[02:25.446]O , witness have l none save God Almighty
[02:30.702]And may He reward you well for the slighting of me
[02:36.455]Her lips grew pale and wan ; it made her poor heart tremble
[02:42.705]For to think she had loved one , and he proved deceitful
