lyrics

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

KELD

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.
