The Old Spinning Wheel

Cat. #1243 (MFH #859) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 26, 1971

VERSE 1
Covered with dust an' forgotten life
Th face that hung on th wall
Is the one that I'll alway cherish
Though that's gone, I love most of all

VERSE 2
There's an ole spinnin' wheel in th parlor
Spinnin' dreams of th long, long ago
Spinnin' dreams of an old fashion garden
An' the one that is gone, I love so

VERSE 3
Sometimes it seems that I can hear them in the twilight
As the organ plays soft an' low

VERSE 4
There's an ole spinnin' wheel in th parlor
Spinnin' dreams of th long, long ago
There's an ole spinnin' wheel in th parlor
Spinnin' dreams of th long, long ago
Spinnin' dreams of an old fashion garden
An' th one that is gone I love so

VERSE 5
There's an ole spinnin' wheel in th parlor
Dreams of long, long ago
It turns back th years of my childhood
But th dreams of my long, long ago
