Lyrics

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'll get a lot of kicks out of the blacksmith blues  
  
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' bop, down the avenue  
Folks love the rhythm, the clang bangin' rhythm  
You'll get a lot of kicks out of the blacksmith blues  
  
Oh, 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' bop, down the avenue  
Folks love the rhythm, the clang bangin' rhythm  
You'll get a lot of kicks out of the blacksmith blues  
  
Out of the blacksmith blues  
Out of the blacksmith blues  
Hammer knockin', anvil rockin'  
Horses cloppin', pops are boppin'  
The blacksmith blues
