Intro: E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm

 E minorEm         D MajorD
A augmentedA blacksmith courted me
   C majorC     D MajorD E minorEm
Nine months and better
  E minorEm       D MajorD
He fairly won my heart
   C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
Wrote me a letter
     G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
With his hammer in his hand
  E minorEm      D MajorD
He looked quite clever
  A augmentedA        G+G
And if I was with my love
     D MajorD  E minorEm
I'd live forever.

   E minorEm       D MajorD
But where is my love gone
     C majorC      D MajorD E minorEm
With his cheeks like roses
               D MajorD
And his good black Billycock on
    C majorC     D MajorD  E minorEm
Decked round with primroses
   G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
I'm afraid the scorching sun
   E minorEm         D MajorD
Will shine and burn his beauty
A augmentedA          G+G
And if I was with my love
    D MajorD E minorEm
I'd do my duty.

     E minorEm       D MajorD
Strange news is come to town
     C majorC    D MajorD E minorEm
Strange news is carried
    E minorEm        D MajorD
Strange news flys up and down
    C majorC    D MajorD E minorEm
That my love is married.
  G+G       D MajorD  E minorEm
I wish them both much joy
            D MajorD
Though they can't hear me
     A augmentedA       G+G
And may God reward him well
     D MajorD      E minorEm
For the slighting of me.

   E minorEm      D MajorD
Don't you remember when
   C majorC   D MajorD  E minorEm
You lay beside me
  E minorEm          D MajorD
And you said you'd marry me
  C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
And not deny me
   G+G    D MajorD   E minorEm
If I said I'd marry you
    E minorEm        D MajorD
It was only for to try you
  A augmentedA         G+G
So bring your witness love
       D MajorD  E minorEm
And I'll not deny you.

  E minorEm      D MajorD
No witness have I none
   C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
Save God Almighty
  E minorEm         D MajorD
And may he reward you well
    C majorC     D MajorD E minorEm
For the slighting of me
   G+G       D MajorD  E minorEm
Her lips grew pale and wan
  E minorEm         D MajorD
It made a poor heart tremble
  A augmentedA         G+G
To think she loved a one
    D MajorD     E minorEm
And he proved deceitful.
