מילים לשיר Blacksmith – Loreena McKennitt

A blacksmith courted me
Wrote me a letter
Nine months and better
He fairly won my heart
With his hammer in his hand
He looked quite clever
And if I was with my love
I'd live forever. But where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
And his good black billycock on
Decked round with primroses
I'm afraid the scorching sun
And if I was with my love
Will shine and burn his beauty
I'd do my duty. Strange news is coming to town
Strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down
That my love is married.
I wish them both much joy
Though they can't hear me
For the slighting of me.
And may God reward him well
Don't you remember when And you said you'd marry me
You lay beside me
And not deny me
If I said I'd marry you
It was only for to try you
And I'll not deny you.
So bring your witness love No witness have I none
Save God Almighty
And may he reward you well
Her lips grew pale and wan
For the slighting of me
To think she loved a one
And he proved deceitful.
It made her poor heart tremble
A blacksmith courted me Nine months and better
He looked quite clever
With his hammer in his hand
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
And if I was with my love
I'd live forever.
