Let hammer on anvil ring,
Let hammer on anvil ring,
And the forge fire brightly shine;
And the forge fire brightly shine;

If I had a cup I would straightway pledge
The armourer, that is I!
The armourer, that is I!}}

Let hammer on anvil ring,
And the forge fire brightly shine;
Let wars rage still,
While I work with a will
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.

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 straightway pledge
The armourer, that is I!
