Monster - Jonah Blacksmith

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 quite clever And if I was with my love I'd live forever Oh, where is my love gone With his cheeks like roses And his good black billycock on Decked round with primroses? I hope the scorching sun Won't shine and burn his beauty And if I was with my love I'd do my duty Strange news is coming to town Strange news is carried Strange news flies up and down That my love is married I wish them both much joy Though they can't hear me And may God reward him well For the slighting of me Don't you remember when You lay beside me And 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 No witness have I, none Save God Almighty And may He reward you well For the slighting of me Her lips grew pale and wan It made her poor heart tremble To think she loved the one And he proved deceitful 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 quite clever And if I was with my love I'd live forever

I have a friend He's so wise He loves so much that it shines out through his eyes And I can see that what he gives Comes back a hundred times at least I have a kid He's so bright He stays awake to watch the stars all night When he sings, it's so pure, And he reminds me what I'm looking for And I have dreams I have dreams I have a place Out in the woods I didn't build it, but it built me good I don't come here as much as I should Cause every time it leaves me with something - something And I have dreams I have dreams I have dreams where we are like colors We blend with each other in the night I have dreams where we become colors Just like fireworks - we will paint the sky I've made choices that led me here Some out of love and some out of fear There are so many ways - ways that I could go How to choose? I really don't know But I was told by my mom and my dad That I should not succumb to the worries I might have There is a God, but trust your heart Trust your courageous heart I have dreams I have dreams I have dreams where we are like colors We blend with each other in the night I have dreams where we become colors Just like fireworks - we will paint the sky Just like fireworks Just like fireworks I have dreams
