The Blacksmith by Maura OConnell
The Blacksmith
Capo: 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Am G Em Am
A blacksmith courted me, nine months and better
Am G Em Am
He fairly won my heart, he wrote me a letter
C Em Am G
With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever
Am Em C Am
And if I were with my love, I would live forever
[Verse 2]
Am G Em Am
\\"O, where is my love gone, with his cheeks like roses?
Am G Em Am
He is gone across the sea, gathering primroses
C Em Am G
I''''m afraid the shining sun might burn and scorch his beauty
Am Em C Am
And if I were with my love, I would do my duty
[Verse 3]
Am G Em Am
\\"Strange news is come to town, strange news is a-carried
Am G Em Am
Strange news flies up and down that my love is a-married
C Em Am G
O, I wish them both much joy, though they don''''t hear me
Am Em C Am
And if I were with my love, I would do my duty
[Verse 4]
Am G Em Am
\\"O, what did you promise me when you lay beside me?
Am G Em Am
You said you''''d marry me, and not deny me.\\"
C Em Am G
\\"If I said I''''d marry you, ''''twas only to try you
Am Em C Am
So bring your witness, love, and I''''ll not deny you.\\"
[Verse 5]
Am G Em Am
\\"O, witness have I none save god almighty
Am G Em Am
And may he reward you well for the slighting of me.\\"
C Em Am G
Her lips grew pale and wan, it made her poor heart tremble
Am Em C Am
For to think she had loved one, and he proved deceitful
[Verse 6]
Am G Em Am
A blacksmith courted me, nine months and better
Am G Em Am
He fairly won my heart, he wrote me a letter
C Em Am G
With his hammer in his hand, he looked so clever
Am Em C Am
And if I were with my love, I would live forever
