Capo 2
At the east end of town, at the foot of the hill,
There's a chimney so tall, it says Belfast mill,
Chorus:
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
There's no smoke at all coming out of the stack,
For the mill has shut down, and it’s never coming back.
Chorus:
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
There's no children playing in the dark narrow streets,
Since the mill has shut down its so quiet, I can’t sleep.
Chorus:
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
The mill has shut down, 'twas the only life I know,
Tell me where will I go, tell me where will I go.
Chorus:
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
I'm too old to work and I’m too young to die,
Tell me where will I go now, my family and I.
Chorus:
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
