Thread Name: Lyr Req: Old Spinning Wheel (Billy Hill)
Subject: RE: Spinning Wheel in the Parlor - More?
This is what I have it was written and recorded in 1933 by Billy Hill and it goes like this:

VERSE 1: Covered with dust and forgotten
Like the face upon the wall
The one souvenir of days gone by
I treasure most of all

CHORUS: There's an old spinning wheel in the parlor
Spinning dreams of long, long ago
Spinning dreams of an old fashioned garden
And a maid with an old fashioned beau
Sometimes it seems that I can hear her 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 ago
