Generate meaning
1
A blacksmith courted me
2
Nine months and better
3
He fairly won my heart
4
Wrote me a letter.
5
With his hammer in his hand
6
He looked so clever
7
And if I was with my love
8
I would live forever.
9
But where is my love gone
10
With his cheeks like roses
11
And his good black Billycock on
12
Decked around with primroses.
13
I fear the shining sun
14
May burn and scorch his beauty
15
And if I was with my love
16
I would do my duty.
17
Strange news is come to town
18
Strange news is carried
19
Strange news flies up and down
20
That my love is married.
21
I wish them both much joy
22
Though they can't hear me
23
And may God reward him well
24
For the slighting of me.
25
Don't you remember when
26
You lay beside me
27
And you said you'd marry me
28
And not deny me.
29
If I said I'd marry you
30
It was only for to try you
31
So bring your witness love
32
And I'll not deny you.
33
No, witness have I none
34
Save God Almighty
35
And may he reward you well
36
For the slighting of me.
37
Her lips grew pale and wan
38
It made a poor heart tremble
39
To think she loved a one
40
And he proved deceitful.
41
A blacksmith courted me
42
Nine months and better
43
He fairly won my heart
44
Wrote me a letter.
45
With his hammer in his hand
46
He looked so clever
47
And if I was with my love I would live forever.
