Subject: Spindle, bobbin and spool away
Can anyone help with lyrics to a song about a holiday? The chorus goes something like .................. spindle, bobbin and spool away, .................... For this is my holiday.

It was a girl, singing whilst she spun, about her holiday coming up.

I remember Isla St Clair singing it on BBC TV way back in the 1970's on her programme 'The song and the story', an excellent series where she went about singing folk songs and explaining them, usually in costume. Someone used to sing it at my folk club, back in the 1980's, but I never noted it down, thinking I had it in one of my books. Well, I don't, any helpers please??
