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 for ever 

But where is my love gone with his cheeks like roses? 
And his good black Billycock on all crowned 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 has come to town, strange news is carried 
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married 
And 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 

Oh, witness have I none save God Almighty 
And may he reward you well for the slighting of me 
Her cheeks grew pale and wan it made her poor heart to tremble 
To think she loved the one and he proved deceitful
