*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Déanta - The Blacksmith
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
N.C.                                    Am
A blacksmith courted me, nine months or better
He Ambravely won my Gheart, wrEmote me a leAmtter
With his Chammer in his Emhand, he Amlooked quiGte clever
And if AmI was with my lEmove, IC'd live foreverAm  
[Verse 2]
But Amwhere is my love Ggone, with his Emcheeks like roAmses?
And his Amgood black billycock Gon, all Emcrowned with primAmroses
I'm aCfraid the scorching Emsun will sAmhine and burn his Gbeauty
And if AmI were with my Emlove, CI'd do my duAmty
[Verse 3]
Strange Amnews has come to Gtown, strange Emnews is carAmried
Strange Amnews flies up and Gdown that my Emlove, he's marAmried
I Cwish them both much Emjoy, though Amthey can't hear Gme
And may Amgod reward them Emwell for the Cslighting of Amme
[Verse 4]
"Don't Amyou remember Gwell, when you Emlay beside Amme
And you Amsaid you'd marry Gme, and Emnot deny Amme"
"If I Csaid I'd marry Emyou, it was Amonly for to try Gyou
So Ambring your witness, Emlove, and CI'll not deny Amyou"
[Verse 5]
Oh, Amwitness have I Gnone, save Emgod alAmmighty
And may Amhe reward you Gwell, for the Emslighting of Amme
Her Clips grew pale and Emwan, it Ammade her poor heart tremGble
N.C.
To think she loved a one, and he proved deceitful
