LYRICS

The Old Spinning Wheel

(ONE OF MY FAVORITES, AND THANKS TO A FRIEND WHO FOUND THE VERSES IN  THE LIBRARY, YOU NOW HAVE THE WHOLE SONG, NOT JUST THE 1ST 2 NARRATIVES AND THE 1ST VERSE AND CHORUS!)

(Naritive 1) Covered with dust and forgotten, Like the face upon the wall 
The one souvenir of the days gone by, I treasure most of all (1st Verse) 
(Naritive 2) Turn back the years of my childhood As you turn, old spinning wheel. 
Just show me a lane with a barefoot boy, As shadows softly steal (2nd verse)
G (1st Verse) D G
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlor, Spinning dreams of the long, long ago. 
Spinning dreams of an old fashioned garden, And a maid with her old fashioned beau, 
C (CHORUS) G D 
Sometimes I can see them in the twilight, At the organ softly singing "Old Black Joe." 
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlor, Spinning dreams of the long, long a go. (chords same as above, GDG) 
(2nd Verse)
As they walked in the night through the garden, and they spoke of the things that would be,
They spoke of the house and the garden, and they also spoke a little about me. (CHORUS)
(3RD VERSE)
As I sit here tonight in the moonlight, and I think of all the love that they had,
I think of the maid and her young man, that I knew as my mother and dad! (CHORUS)
