Intro: Em D C D Em Em D A blacksmith courted me C D Em Nine months and better Em D He fairly won my heart C D Em Wrote me a letter G D Em With his hammer in his hand Em D He looked quite clever A G And if I was with my love D Em I'd live forever. Em D But where is my love gone C D Em With his cheeks like roses D And his good black Billycock on C D Em Decked round with primroses G D Em I'm afraid the scorching sun Em D Will shine and burn his beauty A G And if I was with my love D Em I'd do my duty.

G D Em I wish them both much joy D Though they can't hear me A G And may God reward him well D Em For the slighting of me. Em D Don't you remember when C D Em You lay beside me Em D And you said you'd marry me C D Em And not deny me G D Em If I said I'd marry you Em D It was only for to try you A G So bring your witness love D Em And I'll not deny you. Em D No witness have I none C D Em Save God Almighty Em D And may he reward you well C D Em For the slighting of me G D Em Her lips grew pale and wan Em D It made a poor heart tremble A G To think she loved a one D Em And he proved deceitful.
