Der Schmied Lyrics & Chords By Werkraum

A blacksmith courted me
Nine months and better.
He fairly won my heart
He wrote me a letter.
With his hammer in his hand
He looked so clever.
And if I were with my love
I would live forever.

Oh where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses?
He is gone across the sea
Gathering primroses.
I'm afraid the shining sunne
Might burn and scorch his beauty.
And if I were with my love
I would do my duty.

Strange news has come to town
Strange news is carried.
Strange news flies up and down
That my love is married.
For I wish them both much joy
Though they don't hear me.
And if I were with my love
I would do my duty.

Oh waht did you promise me
When you lay beside me?
You said you'd marry me
And not deny me.
If I said I'd marry you
It was only to try you!
So bring your witness, love
And I'll not deny you.

A witness have I none,
Save God Almighty!
And may he reward you well
For the slighting of me.
Her lips grew pale and wan
It made a poor heart tremble.
For to think she's loved one
And would proved deceitful.

A blacksmith courted me
Nine months and better.
He fairly won my heart
He wrote me a letter.
With his hammer in his hand
He looked so clever.
And if I were with my love
I would live forever.
