Lyrics
For a blacksmith courted me, oh, for nine months and better And he fairly gained my heart, he wrote to me a letter With his hammer all in his hand which he strikes so mighty and clever And if I was with my love, I'd live forever There my love is gone across the fields, gathering primeroses There he goes across the fields with his cheeks like roses I'm afraid the burning sun, oh, would scorch and spoil his beauty But if I was with my love, I'd do love's duty Sad news has come to town, sad news is carried Sad news flies up and down that my love is married Still I wish him all both joy, oh, but he's not here for to hear me I shall never die for love, love none relieve me What's the promise that you made me, oh, when you first knowed me? You promised you'd marry me, you only said it to deny me Still I wish you all both joy, oh, but you're not here for to hear me I shall never die for love, now men don't fear me
