Lyrics
I thought to make a horseshoe, and asked my hammer thus He said “I'll ask the anvil what you require of us” The hammer asked the anvil and she at once agreed That they should be together in the way that I decreed And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong I am the blacksmith singing The hammer and the anvil song I thought to make an anchor, for taking on the main The hammer and the anvil relented once again So they sat there together, as I prepared the cast Thеy braced themselvеs for impact like a sailor on the mast And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong I am the blacksmith singing The hammer and the anvil song I thought to make a broadsword, for fighting on the field _ I know the hammer is a noble thing to wield For though us humble tradesfolk, choose a quiet life The gods of war come to the door with the hammer and his wife And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong I am the blacksmith singing The hammer and the anvil song They asked me for a statue, of the general who died A sword raised in his iron fist and a war horse sat astride And though I knew they'd try me, for what I did decide I stuck a hammer in his fist and an anvil by his side And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong I am the blacksmith singing The hammer and the anvil song Now all you merry blacksmiths, a warning take by me Stick to your country horseshoes and your anchors for the sea When the gods of war come calling, promising you gold They'll take your hammer, take your anvil, take your very soul And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong I am the blacksmith singing The hammer and the anvil song And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong I am the blacksmith singing The hammer and the anvil song
