Town Blacksmith
Banjo adgbd (G tuning 5th spiked to A at 7th fret)
Medium speed Key D
Town Blacksmith
My Dhome town had a blacksmith named Henry EBosler
He was the Aone on whom all the farmers Ddepend
Mr Bosler would make their plow shares Esharper
So they Acould go back and plow their fields Dagain
He Ghad a little shed on the far side of Dtown
Where they Ewould come and form a long Aline
If the Ddidnt get there real Eearly
They would Alose a day of plowing Dtime
Some Dof the big farmers got real Eedgy
And Awanted to move up and get out of Dline
But Henry would stare at them with his heavy Ehammer
They would Agrumble, but get back in Dline
Henry GBosler was the village Dblacksmith
And the Eonly one for miles a- Around
At Dtimes, he could be real inde- Ependent
Make him Aself scarce, not to be DfoundD7  
Everyone Gfinally knew he was Dneeded
And they Emade a point to thank him every Aday
Then DHenry came down with a Esickness
And they Aused a black wagon to haul him Daway
Now Dthe town is very Esorry
That Athey had treated him that Dway
They took up a big Ecollection
And sent Ait to his sister far, far Daway
I Dknow the town did not Eprosper
Without AMr. Bosler there every Dday
Some say it was his way of gettin Eeven
And that Ahe and his sister are spending that collection Dtoday.

Town Blacksmith

Banjo adgbd (G tuning 5th spiked to A at 7th fret)

Medium speed Key D

Town Blacksmith

D E

My home town had a blacksmith named Henry Bosler

A D

He was the one on whom all the farmers depend

Mr Bosler would make their plow shares sharper

A D

So they could go back and plow their fields again

G D

He had a little shed on the far side of town

E A

Where they would come and form a long line

D E

If the didnt get there real early

A D

They would lose a day of plowing time

D E

Some of the big farmers got real edgy

A D

And wanted to move up and get out of line

But Henry would stare at them with his heavy hammer

A D

They would grumble, but get back in line

G D

Henry Bosler was the village blacksmith

E A

And the only one for miles a- round

D E

At times, he could be real inde- pendent

A D D7

Make him self scarce, not to be found

G D

Everyone finally knew he was needed

E A

And they made a point to thank him every day

D E

Then Henry came down with a sickness

A D

And they used a black wagon to haul him away

D E

Now the town is very sorry

A D

That they had treated him that way

They took up a big collection

A D

And sent it to his sister far, far away

D E

I know the town did not prosper

A D

Without Mr. Bosler there every day

Some say it was his way of gettin even

A D

And that he and his sister are spending that collection today.
