Blacksmith Blues

(Jack Holmes)

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
