Little White Washed Chimney

Little Whitewashed Chimney - The Cox Family

Written by：Bill Clifton

Where the Mississippi's flowing on the sunny southern shores

And the steamboat comes a puffing round the bend

There's a little old log cabin with a grape vine over the door

And a little white washed chimney at the end

I'm going back I'm going back to the place I love so well

To the folks who want me for their very own

To the little old log cabin with the grape vine o'er the door

And a little white washed chimney at the end

I went away up north where they told me I would find

Money hanging 'round like apples on a tree

It was there my sweetheart told me it was nothing of the kind

And the weather was so cold I thought I'd freeze

I'm going back I'm going back to the place I love so well

To the folks who want me for their very own

To the little old log cabin with the grape vine o'er the door

And a little white washed chimney at the end

I can see the smoke a rising from the little chimney top

As it welcomes me and greets me on the breeze

It's then I'll start to running and I know I'll never stop

Till I've landed in that cabin on my knees

I'm going back I'm going back to the place I love so well

To the folks who want me for their very own

To the little old log cabin with the grape vine o'er the door

And a little white washed chimney at the end
