    Share Share Post
    This song was composed by T.D. Sullivan. It is about the three brave blacksmiths who would not shoe Mrs Burdette Maroney's horses during the land league agitation.
    I
    Three brave blacksmiths down in Co. Clare.
    They would'nt shoe the grabers horses they would'nt shoe his mare
    They would'nt take his money for his threats they didn't care.
    They'd rather go unshod themselves 'than shame the Co. Clare
    Chorus
    Blacksmiths, Whitesmiths
    tradesmen every where
