Armourer's Song 1891 'Robin Hood'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 May 2005

Let hammer on anvil ring,
and the forgefire brightly shine.
Let wars rage still
while I work with a will
at this peaceful trade of mine,
of mine,
at this peaceful trade of mine.

The sword is a weapon to conquer fields,
I honor the man who shakes it,
but naught is the lad
who the broad sword wields
compared to the lad who makes it!

Let hammer on anvil go ring, ring, ring!
The forgefire so brightly shine.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Then huzzah for the anvil,
the forge and the sledge,
Huzzah for the sparks that fly,
if I had a cup I would straight way pledge
The Ar.............mourer, that I.

Let hammer on anvil ring,
and the forgefire brightly shine.
Let wars rage still
while I work with a will
at this peaceful trade of mine,
of mine,
at this peaceful trade of mine.

The sword is a weapon to conquer fields,
I honor the man who shakes it,
but naught is the lad
who the broad sword wields
compared to the lad who makes it!

Let hammer on anvil go ring, ring, ring!
The forgefire so brightly shine.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Then huzzah for the anvil,
the forge and the sledge,
Huzzah for the sparks that fly,
if I had a cup I would straight way pledge
The Ar.............mourer, that I.
