Blacksmith
For a blacksmith courted me nine months and better
He fairly won my heart wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever
And if I was with my love I'd live for ever
Oh where is my love gone with his cheeks like roses
He's gone across the seas gathering primroses
I'm afraid the shining sun will burn and scorch his beauty
And if I was with my love I'd do loves' duty
Strange news is come to town strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down that my love is married
Oh I wish them both much joy though they don't hear me
And if I was with my love I'd do loves' duty
What 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 for to try you
So bring your witness love and I'll not deny you
Oh its witness have I none save in God almighty
And may he reward you well for the slighting of me
Her lips grew pale and white and it made her poor heart tremble
For to think she had loved one and he proved deceitful
For a blacksmith courted me nine months and better
He fairly won my heart wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand he looked so clever
And if I was with my love I'd live for ever

As I was walking on Salisbury Plain
It was there I met a scamping young blade
Who kissed me and enticed me so
till along with him I was forced for to go
We came into a public house at last
and there for man and wife we did pass
He called for strong ale, wine and beer
Till at length to bed we both did repair
Undress yourself my darling says he
Undress yourself and come to bed with me
Indeed that I will then said she
If you'll keep all them flash girls away
Oh them flash girls you need not fear
For you'll be safeguarded my dear
I will keep you like some lady gay
For I'll go a robbing on the King's highway
So early next morning my true love arose
And so nimbly he put on his clothes
Straight away to the highway he set sail
And its there he robbed the coaches of the mail
And now in Newgate gaol my true love do lie
Expecting every moment for to die
May God have mercy on his poor soul
For I think I hear the death bell for to toll

Alt/Psych/Wyrd folk release from the UK’s Kerry Andrew. Crystal clear vocals, with keyboards, recorder, pipes, cello, bass and electric guitars, banjolele, trumpet, and various percussive elements. Here, they cover traditional tunes, as well as offering original pieces, with a watery theme. Eerie and evocative, the pieces often start simply and veer off into something else entirely.
