#REDIRECT [[A Lusty Young Smith (filk)]] |
|||
<pre> |
|||
A lusty young smith at his vice stood a-filing, |
|||
his hammer laid by but his forge still aglow, |
|||
When to him a buxom young damesel cam smiling, |
|||
and asked if to work at her forge he would go. |
|||
Chorus |
|||
With a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle, |
|||
with a jingle-bang jingle-bang jingle-hi-ho! |
|||
"I will", said the smith, and they went off together, |
|||
Away to the young damsel's forge they did go, |
|||
They stripped to go to it, was hot work and weather, |
|||
She kindled a fire and soon made him blow. |
|||
Her husbad, she said, no good work could afford her, |
|||
His strength and his tools were worn out long ago, |
|||
The smith said, "well mine are in very good order, |
|||
and now I am ready my skill for to show" |
|||
Red hot grew his iron, as both did desire, |
|||
and he was too wise not to strike while 'twas so... |
|||
Quoth she, "What I get I get out of the fire, |
|||
So prithee strike hard and redouble thy blow!" |
|||
Six times did his iron, by vigorous heating, |
|||
Grow soft in the forge in a minute or so, |
|||
And often was hardened, still beating and beating, |
|||
But each time it softened it hardened more slow. |
|||
The smith then would go; quoth the dame full of sorrow, |
|||
"Oh what would I give could my husband do so! |
|||
Good lad, with your hammer, come hither tomorrow |
|||
But pray won't you use it once more ere you go? |
|||
</pre> |
