This is a RARE record. Good luck finding a copy but here's the lyrics.
BLACKSMITH BLUES by Ella Mae Morse and Freddie Slack
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 plays the boogie blues while he's hammerin' on the shoes.
See the hot sparks a-flyin' Like fourth of Julyin'. He's even got the horses poppin' bop down the avenue. Folks love the rhythm, The clang bangin' rhythm. You'll have a lot of fun doin' the Blacksmith Blues.
SECOND ENDING: You'll really get your kicks doin' the Blacksmith Blues
