Hammer And The Anvil
(专辑: Smoke & Oakum - 2022)
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 meet 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 They braced themselves 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 Much as I
know the
hammer is a
nobler thing to wield For though us humble tradesfolk choose a
quiet life The
gods of war come to the
door of 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
