Blacksmith Blues

Blacksmith Blues - Ella Mae Morse/Les Paul

Down in old Kentucky

Where horseshoes are lucky

There's a village smithy

Standing under the chestnut tree

Hear the hammer knocking

See the anvil rocking

He sings the boogie blues

While he's hammering on the shoes

See the hot sparks a-flying

Like Fourth of July-ing

He's even got the horses clopping

Pop down the avenue

Folks love the rhythm

The clang banging rhythm

You'll get a lot kicks
