Harry Belafonte Chimney Smoke Lyrics

Chimney Smoke 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
