The Blacksmith chords

[VERSE 1]
[Em]Oh, a blacksmith courted [D]me
Nine [C]months and [D]bett[Em]er
He fairly won my [D]heart
He wrote [C]me a [D]let[Em]ter
With the [G]hammer [D]in his [Em]hand
He looked so cl[D]ever
And if [A]I was with my [G]love
I would [C]live [D]fore[Em]ver

[VERSE 2]
[Em]Oh, where is my love [D]gone
With his [C]cheeks like [D]ros[Em]es
And his good black billycock [D]on
Decked around [C]with prim[D]ros[Em]es
I'm [G]afraid the [D]scorching [Em]sun
Will shine and burn his beau[D]ty
And if [A]I was with my [G]love
I would [C]do my [D]dut[Em]y

[VERSE 3]
[Em]Strange news has come to [D]town
[C] [D] En
Strange news are carried
Strange news flies up and [D]down
That [C]my love is [D]marr[Em]ied
Oh, I [G]wish them [D]both much [Em]joy
Though they can't hear[D] me
And may [A]God reward him [G]well
For the [C]slighting [D]of [Em]me

[VERSE 4]
[Em]Don't you remember [D]when
You [C]lay be[D]side [Em]me
And you said you'd marry [D]me
And [C]not de[D]ny [Em]me
If I [G]said I'd [D]marry [Em]you
It was only for to try [D]you
So [A]bring your witness [G]love
And I'll [C]not de[D]ny [Em]you

[VERSE 5]
[Em]No, witness have I [D]none
Save G[C]od Alm[D]igh[Em]ty
And may he reward you [D]well
For the [C]slighting [D]of [Em]me
Her [G]lips grew [D]pale and [Em]wan
It made a poor heart trem[D]ble
To [A]think she loved a[G] one
And he [C]proved dec[D]ei[Em]tful
