What about the Ella Mae Morse tune, "Blacksmith Blues"? Hope it's not too lowbrow for you. It was a big hit for her in 1952. Written for her by one Jack Holmes, the lyrics are as follows: 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 get a lotta kicks outta the blacksmith blues! Kind of a catchy tune, probably the most popular "blacksmith" song you'll find out there.
