The lady stands at her own front door
As straight as a willow wand
And along there come a husky smith
With his hammer in his hand

Well may you dress you lady fair
All in your robes of red
At first tomorrow at this same time
I'll have your maidenhead

And he said - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

Away, away, you coal blacksmith
Would you do me this wrong
To think to have me maidenhead
That I have kept so long

I'd rather I were dead and cold
And me body laid in the grave
Than a husky, dusty, coal blacksmith
Me maidenhead should have

And he said - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

Then the lady she held up her hand
And swore upon her soul
I will not be a blacksmith's wife
For all of a box or a chest of gold

And the blacksmith, he held up his hand
And he swore upon the mass
I'll have you all in love, my gal
For the half of that or less

And he said - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

She turned herself into a ship
To sail out for a mud
He sang the heir threw her sail
And soon the ship she sunked

And she became a little duck
A-floating in the pond
And he became a hideous black drake
And chased her round and round

Quacking - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

Then she became a little ewe sheep
And grazed upon the common
And he became a s___gy old ram
And swiftly fell upon her

She turned herself into a hare
And ran upon the plain
And he became a greyhound dog
And fetched her back again

Barking - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

Then she became a little green fly
A she flew up in the air
And he became a hairy spider
And fetched her in his lair

She changed herself to a swift young mare
As dark as the night was black
And he became a golden saddle
And he climbed up on her back

Bragging - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

Then she became a hot griddle
And he became a cake
And all the ways she turned herself
The blacksmith was her mate

Then she became a turtle dove
And flew up in the air
And he became an old c___ pigeon
And they flew all pair and pair

And he cooed - Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

The she ran into her own bedroom
And she became the bed
And he became a green coverlet
And gained her maidenhead

And he said bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride

Bide lady, bide
There's a nowhere you can hide
The husky smith will be your love
And that'll pull down your pride
