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

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
