The Blacksmith chords

[Am]A blacksmith courted m[G]e, nine mo[Em]nths and be[Am]tter
[Am]He fairly won my heart[G] ; he wrote[Em] me a lette[Am]r
With his ha[C]mmer in his [Em]hand, he lo[Am]oked so cl[G]ever,
And if [Am]I were with my lo[Em]ve, I would l[C]ive forever.[Am]

[Am]"O, where is my love g[G]one, with his ch[Em]eeks like r[Am]oses?
[Am]He is gone across the [G]sea, gathe[Em]ring primro[Am]ses
I'm afraid [C]the shining [Em]sun might b[Am]urn and scorch his be[G]auty,
And if [Am]I were with my lo[Em]ve, I would d[C]o my duty. [Am]

[Am]"Strange news is a-come to to[G]wn, strange ne[Em]ws is a-car[Am]ried,
[Am]Strange news flies up and dow[G]n that my [Em]love is a-m[Am]arried
O, I wish t[C]hem both much j[Em]oy, though [Am]they don't hear m[G]e
And if [Am]I were with my lo[Em]ve, I would d[C]o my duty. [Am]

[Am]"O, what did you promise me[G] when you [Em]lay beside [Am]me?
[Am]You said you'd marry m[G]e, and not[Em] deny me." [Am]
"If I said [C]I'd marry yo[Em]u, 'twas on[Am]ly to try [G]you,
So brin[Am]g your witness, l[Em]ove, and I'll[C] not deny yo[Am]u."

[Am]"O, witness have I non[G]e save God[Em] Almighty [Am]
[Am]And may He reward you [G]well for the sli[Em]ghting of m[Am]e."
Her lips gr[C]ew pale and [Em]wan; it mad[Am]e her poor heart tre[G]mble
For to [Am]think she had lov[Em]ed one, and h[C]e proved dec[Am]eitful.
