Lyrics
grow soft in her forge in a minute or so but as often was hardened
red hot grew his iron
And he was too wise not to strike while twas so said she, along to the young damsel s forge they did go they stripped to go to it Young, along to the young damsel s forge they did go they stripped to go to it
They kindled a fire and she soon made him blow, by vigorous heating, what i get i get out of the fire
Still beating and beating, and he was too wise not to strike while twas so said she
But the more it was softened, quoth the dame full of sorrow Wars), what i get i get out of the fire
And i am now ready my skill for to show., still beating and beating
Six times did his iron, the smith said well mine are in very good order
Along to the young damsel s forge they did go they stripped to go to it, six times did his iron
Twas hot work and hot weather, still beating and beating, and i am now ready my skill for to show.
No good work could afford her, i will, said the smith
Twas hot work and hot weather, what would i give could my husband do so good lad with your hammer come hither tomorrow, six times did his iron
But pray could you use it once more ere you go, a lusty young smith at his vice stood a-filing
when to him a buxom young damsel came smiling
No good work could afford her, the smith said well mine are in very good order
When the smith rose to go, along to the young damsel s forge they did go they stripped to go to it, and he was too wise not to strike while twas so said she
they kindled a fire and she soon made him blow
As both did desire, but pray could you use it once more ere you go, when to him a buxom young damsel came smiling
Twas hot work and hot weather, the smith said well mine are in very good order, they kindled a fire and she soon made him blow
His hammer laid by but his forge still aglow, and i am now ready my skill for to show., the smith said well mine are in very good order
What would i give could my husband do so good lad with your hammer come hither tomorrow, as both did desire Wars), and they went off together
When the smith rose to go, the smith said well mine are in very good order, along to the young damsel s forge they did go they stripped to go to it
But the more it was softened, and they went off together
as both did desire
A lusty young smith at his vice stood a-filing, and he was too wise not to strike while twas so said she
strike home and redouble the blow.
They kindled a fire and she soon made him blow, still beating and beating, no good work could afford her
His hammer laid by but his forge still aglow, grow soft in her forge in a minute or so but as often was hardened
strike home and redouble the blow.
and he was too wise not to strike while twas so said she
quoth the dame full of sorrow
but pray could you use it once more ere you go
no good work could afford her
A lusty young smith at his vice stood a-filing, and they went off together Young, his strength and his tools were worn out long ago
by vigorous heating
along to the young damsel s forge they did go they stripped to go to it
A lusty young smith at his vice stood a-filing, his hammer laid by but his forge still aglow (Star, what would i give could my husband do so good lad with your hammer come hither tomorrow
