Well deep in the hillbilly country they still tell the story of the little blacksmith who was way back in the mountains and was very lonely. He was not even 5 feet tall but he was strong and handsome and did his work well but all the girls in his community had overlooked him and were already married.

One day a beautiful lady from a nearby mountain comes into his shop and needs new hinges for her daddy's barn door. The little blacksmith thinks she's attractive even though she's well over 6 feet tall, and he eagerly agrees to do an outstanding job. She's quite agreeable herself and he asks her if she's married, and she is not.

So he asks if he can come and call on her in the future and she said that would be alright and she bent down and kissed him right on the cheek. He hopped right up on his anvil and kissed her back and she said good-by until the next day when she will pick up the hinges.

On the next day she came back and before she was going to leave he invited her to take a look around his part of the mountain a little bit, they went to where he had a wonderful garden, the birds were singing, it was so romantic.

He looked up into her eyes and sincerely told her how much he was thinking of another kiss.

She was a little too bashful right then and told him to wait until the weekend when he could be her date at the barn dance.

He understood, and couldn't complain, so he said "well if there's not going to be any more kissin' today, I think I'll put this anvil down."
