The Blacksmith Blues - Ella Mae Morse, Nelson Riddle & His Orchestra

Down in old Kentucky

Where horseshoes are lucky

There’s a village smithy standin' under a chestnut tree

Hear the hammer knockin'

See the hammer 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
