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
