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
