The Blacksmith Blues Songtext
von Ella Mae Morse

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
