Does anyone have the lyrics to this one? It begins:

A lusty young smith at his vice stood, a'filin, His hammer laid by, but his forge still aglow, When to him a buxom yound damsel came smilin', And asked if to work at her forge he would go.

Thanks!

Thanks! I actually found a beat-up old stained, half-ruined paper (does anyone still use paper anymore?) copy of the song.
