The Blacksmith (for Dan Dirges)
Dan Dirges (@DanDDirges) uploaded a recording of this song earlier in the week, and I was quite surprised to find that I hadn't already recorded it. Here is Dan's version:

If you don't already follow Dan's channel, I can highly recommend his collection of traditional songs, and also many great songs of his own writing.
You can find his Bandcamp albums here:
