[00:00.00]The Blacksmith - Planxty
[00:07.79]A blacksmith courted me
[00:11.69]Nine months and better
[00:15.03]He fairly won my heart
[00:18.83]Wrote me a letter
[00:22.51]With his hammer in his hand
[00:26.20]He looked quite clever
[00:29.57]And if I was with my love
[00:33.51]I'd live for ever
[00:37.95]But where is my love gone
[00:41.60]With his cheeks like roses
[00:45.11]And his good black billycock on
[00:48.91]Decked round with primroses
[00:52.35]I'm afraid the scorching sun
[00:56.09]Will shine and burn his beauty
[00:59.93]And if I was with my love
[01:03.73]I'd do my duty
[01:14.23]Strange news is come to town
[01:17.93]Strange news is carried
[01:21.58]Strange news flies up and down
[01:25.18]That my love is married
[01:28.62]I wish them both much joy
[01:32.64]Though they can't hear me
[01:35.94]And may God reward him well
[01:39.89]For the slighting of me
[01:44.40]Don't you remember when
[01:47.89]You lay beside me
[01:51.50]And you said you'd marry me
[01:55.18]And not deny me
[01:58.66]If I said I'd marry you
[02:02.40]It was only for to try you
[02:06.25]So bring your witness love
[02:09.98]And I'll not deny you
[02:20.72]No witness have I none
[02:24.28]Save God almighty
[02:27.80]And may he reward you well
[02:31.45]For the slighting of me
[02:34.90]Her cheeks grew pale and wan
[02:38.75]It made her poor heart tremble
[02:42.58]To think she loved that one
[02:46.43]And he proved deceitful
