The Blacksmith Blues

Down in old Kentucky Where horseshoes are lucky There's a village smithy Standin' under the chestnut tree Hear the hammer knockin' See the anvil rockin' He sings the boogie blues While he's hammerin' on the shoes See the hot sparks a-flyin' Like Fourth of July-in' He's even got the horses cloppin' Pop, down the avenue Folks love the rhythm The clang-bangin' rhythm You'll get a lot o' kicks Out of the Blacksmith Blues Down in old Kentucky Where horseshoes are lucky There's a village smithy Standin' under the chestnut tree Hear the hammer knockin' See the anvil rockin' He sings the boogie blues While he's hammerin' on the shoes See the hot sparks a-flyin' Like Fourth of July-in' He's even got the horses cloppin' Pop, down the avenue Folks love the rhythm The clang-bangin' rhythm You'll get a lot o' kicks Out of the Blacksmith Blues
