Subject: Lyr Add: CHIMNEY SMOKE (from Harry Belafonte)
Might's well have the whole package.

CHIMNEY SMOKE
Carry Coleman & Norman Gimbel
(Harry Belafonte)

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke
A winding and a whirling
A climbing and a twirling
Chimney smoke, why did did I roam
Chimney smoke lead me home.

There's a house on a hill by an old willow tree
Where the fire-place is burning for my love and me
But I got restless and said my goodbye
Now I'm roaming the hills and I'm searching the sky, for that

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke etc.

Half 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 etc.

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 of the house where the fire-place burns, blowing

Chimney smoke, chimney smoke etc.
