《The Blacksmith》歌词

[00:00:00] The Blacksmith - Steeleye Span

[00:00:04] A blacksmith courted me nine months or better

[00:00:09] He fairly won my heart wrote me a letter

[00:00:15] With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever

[00:00:21] And if I were with my love I would live forever

[00:00:27] Oh where has my love gone with his cheeks like roses

[00:00:33] He is gone across the sea gathering primroses

[00:00:39] I'm afraid the shining sun might burn and scorch his beauty

[00:00:45] And if I were with my love I would do my duty

[00:01:15] Strange news is a come to town strange news is carried

[00:01:20] Strange news flies up and down that my love is married

[00:01:26] Oh I wish them both great joy though they don't hear me

[00:01:32] And if I were with my love I would do my duty

[00:01:38] What did you promise me when you lay beside me

[00:01:44] You said you'd marry me and not deny me

[00:01:50] If I said I'd marry you t'was only to try you

[00:01:56] So bring your witness love and I'll not deny you

[00:02:26] Oh witness have I none save God almighty

[00:02:31] And may he'll reward you well for slighting of me

[00:02:37] Her lips grew pale and white it made her poor heart tremble

[00:02:44] To think she had loved one and he proved deceitful

[00:02:50] A blacksmith courted me nine months or better

[00:02:56] He fairly won my heart wrote me a letter

[00:03:01] With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever

[00:03:07] And if I were with my love I would live forever
