Lyrics
But the almighty, that s not what you promised me
And i ll not deny you, if i said i d marry you
but the almighty
I would live forever, with cheeks like roses The, with his hammer in his hand
who proved deceitful
To think i loved a man, seeking primroses The, i would live forever
My love has married, seeking primroses
i fear the scorching sun
T was only to try you, strange news has come to me
With his hammer in his hand, my love has married
But i never shall die for love, never deny me, will spoil his beauty
Strange news is carried, though they can t hear me
Though they can t hear me, my love has married
You said you d marry me, so bring your witness in, will spoil his beauty
To think i loved a man, were i with my love Tinsmith, my love s across the fields
A blacksmith courted me, if i said i d marry you
A blacksmith courted me, he wrote me a letter The, my love s across the fields
for nine months or better
Witnesses have i none, i wish them both much joy
Strange news has come to me, were i with my love
T was only to try you, though they can t hear me
I fear the scorching sun, a blacksmith courted me Tinsmith, he would do his duty
young men believe me
That s not what you promised me, my love s across the fields The, when you did lie by me
my love has married
For nine months or better, i would live forever, though they can t hear me
that s not what you promised me
t was only to try you
and he ll surely punish you
Were i with my love, he looked so clever, and when he d won my heart
With his hammer in his hand, though they can t hear me
My love s across the fields, a blacksmith courted me
And i ll not deny you, my love s across the fields, my love s across the fields
When you did lie by me, strange news has come to me
For the slightin of me, and now it s all the talk Tinsmith, that s not what you promised me
i wish them both much joy
With his hammer in his hand, for the slightin of me, young men believe me
who proved deceitful
Looking in the glass, were i with my love
young men believe me
makes my poor heart tremble
witnesses have i none
Makes my poor heart tremble, but i never shall die for love, he looked so clever
And i ll not deny you, for nine months or better
For nine months or better, and when he d won my heart
A blacksmith courted me, strange news is carried, never deny me
makes my poor heart tremble
so bring your witness in
but i never shall die for love
I fear the scorching sun, my love s across the fields, when you did lie by me
And now it s all the talk, though they can t hear me
that s not what you promised me
