phoebe smith - a blacksmith courted me lyrics

Loading...

for a blacksmith he courted me, just nine months or better
until he won my heart, wrote to me a letter
with his hammer in his hand, strikes his blows so neat and clever
and if i were with my love, i’d live forever

now he talks about going abroad, fighting for strangers
and he’d better stay at home, and keep from all dangers
for you stay at home with me, my dearest jewel
and you stay at home with me, and don’t prove cruel

my true love’s gone across the sea, gathering fine posies
my true love’s gone across the sea, with his cheeks like roses
i’m afraid that broiling sun will spoil his beauty
and if i was with my love, i would do love’s duty

for it’s once i had gold in store, they all seemed to like me
but now i’m low and poor, they all seem to slight me
for there ain’t no belief in a man, nor your own brother
so it’s: girls, whenever you love, love one each other
