Thread Name: Songs about blacksmiths
Subject: RE: Songs about blacksmiths
Me Father was a Blacksmith, I'm a Blacksmiths son,
He taught me everything I know until the time had come
That I had learned me trade so well, that then I could say true
Me father was a Blacksmith and now I'm a Blacksmith too.

That's the chorus to the Johnny Collins one. He sang it for me in a friends kitchen the first time I met him, over in Canada. I do some Blacksmithing, although not for a full time living.
I don't have time to do the rest right now, I'm leaving in an hour for a six week vacation in England. SO you will have to wait, repost it at t he end of May.
