[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]A blacksmith courted me,
[C]nine [G]months and better
He fairly won my [F]heart,[G][F][G]
wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand,
he looked quite clever
And if I was with my love,
I would live [F]forever[G]
And where [C]is my [G]love gone,
with [C]his cheeks like [G]roses?[C]
He's gone across [G]the sea,
[C]gathering [G]primroses
[C]I'm afr[G]aid the scorching[C] sun[G]
[C]will [G]shine
and burn [C]his [G]beauty
[C]An d if [G]I was with my l[C]ove,
I would do my [G]duty[C][F]
[G][F][G][C][G]
[C]Strange [G]news has come to town,
[C]a strange news is carrie[G]d
[C]Strange news flies up [G]and down
[C]that my love's married
[G]I w[C]ish[G] them both much[C] joy,[G]
though [C]they [G]don't hear me
[C]And may [G]God reward him [C]well,
[G]the slighting of [F]me[G][C]
[G][C]
What did you promise, [G]love,
[C]when you lay beside me?
You said you'd marry [G]me,
an[C]d not deny me
[G]If [C]I s[G]aid I'd marry [C]you,[G]
[C]it was only for to try you
So [G]bring [C]your witness to love
and I'll never deny [F]you[G]
[F][G][C][G][F]
[G][C][G]
O [C]witness, [G]have I not,
save God [C]Almighty,
[G]and[C] may He reward[G] you well, for slighting
[C]Her che[G]eks[C][G][C]
[G]grew pale and white
[C]It [G]made a p[C]oor[G] heart tremble
[C]To [G]think she had [C]loved [G]one[C]
And [G]he proved [C]deceitful[F][G]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][F]
[G]
Yeah
[C]Oh, Blacksmith, would [G]you [C]please[G]
[C][G][C][G][C][C][G]
[G]
