the new christy minstrels - blacksmith of brandywine lyrics

make it one for washington and all his gallant men
and one for the girl that once was mine
make it one for the darling boy i’ll never see again
and don’t forget the blacksmith of brandywine

as we rode down to brandywine, it was a sight to see
a giant man with a hammer in his hand, beneath the old oak tree
and all around him on the ground in fatal disarray
a score of men who’ll never fight again, nor travel on the king’s highway

we dug his grave and covered him o’er and sadly wept a tear
and passed the day a+ridin’ on our way ’til we met with a musketeer
from him we lеarned the story of a brave and angry man
who undеrtook the british enemy with a hammer in his hand

make it one for washington and all his gallant men
and one for the girl that once was mine
make it one for the darling boy i’ll never see again
and don’t forget the blacksmith of brandywine

there lived a man in chestertown away from the cannon’s roar
of manner mild, his woman and child no man could ever love more
but the tories spoke a plot one day to waylay washington;
he left his home and his family alone, to the general he did run

his errand done, he journeyed home, but sorrow there he found
by british gun, his wife and son lay still on the cold, hard ground
the blacksmith reached for his heavy sledge and he gave a practice swing
next day on the line at brandywine you could hear his hammer sing
make it one for washington and all his gallant men
and one for the girl that once was mine
make it one for the darling boy i’ll never see again
and don’t forget the blacksmith of brandywine
