Harry Belafonte Chimney Smoke song lyrics

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke

A winding and a whirling

A climbing and a twirling

Chimney smoke, why did I roam

Chimney smoke lead me home

There? s a house on a hill, by an old willow tree

Where the fire-place burning for my love and me

But I got restless and send my goodbye

Now I? m roaming the hills and I? m searching the sky, for that

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke

A winding and a whirling

A climbing and a twirling

Chimney smoke, why did I roam

Chimney smoke lead me home

Had an acre of land and a sky full o? sun

And a woman who loved me and no other one

But like a sparrow one night I took flight

Now I long to be home and I pray for the sight of that

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke

A winding and a whirling

A climbing and a twirling

Chimney smoke, why did I roam

Chimney smoke lead me home

Now I? m riding the rails and I? m making my way

To the house on the hill where I? ll settle and stay

And love my love who loved me in return

By the heart and the house, where the fireplace burns, blowing

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke

A winding and a whirling

A climbing and a twirling

Chimney smoke, why did I roam

Chimney smoke lead me home
