Subject: RE: LYR ADD: Old Spinning Wheel
The song (William J. Hill, 1930) as given by Gargoyle is correct. Most singers use only the refrain; some speak the little verses.
Listen to Riley Puckett sing it on the Record Lady, Archives page 8.
Index Record Lady
Listen to Slim Whitman, perhaps his biggest hit: Whitman
The lyrics shown here use "Sweet and Low" but Slim Whitman correctly sings "Old Black Joe."
