Wedding Gear
The blacksmith from the forge comes he—
Glory!
And carries with him hammers three—
Glory!
Oh, blacksmith, blacksmith, forge for me—
Glory!
A wedding crown of gold,13 bran-new!—
Glory!
A golden ring, oh, make me, do!—
Glory!
With what is left a gold pin too!—
Glory!
The crown on wedding day I’ll wear—
Glory!
On golden ring my troth I’ll swear—
Glory!
The pin will bind my veil to hair—
Glory!
