Biography:
Planxty was an Irish folk music band consisting of soon-to-be-legendary musicians Christy Moore (vocals, acoustic guitar, bodhrán), Dónal Lunny (bouzouki, guitars), Andy Irvine (mandolin, mandola, bouzouki, hurdy-gurdy, harmonica), and Liam O'Flynn (uilleann pipes, tin whistle). The band was formed in 1972, and quickly revolutionized and popularized Irish folk music, touring and recording to great acclaim. The band broke up twice; first in 1975 and again in 1983.

Em D C D Em
Em D
A blacksmith courted me
C D Em
Nine months and better
Em D
He fairly won my heart
C D Em
Wrote me a letter
G D Em
With his hammer in his hand
Em D
He looked quite clever
A G
And if I was with my love
D Em
I'd live forever.
Em D
But where is my love gone
C D Em
With his cheeks like roses
D
And his good black Billycock on
C D Em
Decked round with primroses
G D Em
I'm afraid the scorching sun
Em D
Will shine and burn his beauty
A G
And if I was with my love
D Em
I'd do my duty.
Em D
Strange news is come to town
C D Em
Strange news is carried
Em D
Strange news flys up and down
C D Em
That my love is married.
G D Em
I wish them both much joy
D
Though they can't hear me
A G
And may God reward him well
D Em
For the slighting of me.
Em D
Don't you remember when
C D Em
You lay beside me
Em D
And you said you'd marry me
C D Em
And not deny me
G D Em
If I said I'd marry you
Em D
It was only for to try you
A G
So bring your witness love
D Em
And I'll not deny you.
Em D
No witness have I none
C D Em
Save God Almighty
Em D
And may he reward you well
C D Em
For the slighting of me
G D Em
Her lips grew pale and wan
Em D
It made a poor heart tremble
A G
To think she loved a one
D Em
And he proved deceitful.
