There's an old spinning wheel in the parlour
Spinning dreams of the long, long ago
Spinning dreams of an old fashioned garden
And a maid with her old fashioned beau
Sometimes it seems that I can hear her in the twilight
As the organ's softly singing sweet and low
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlour
Spinning dreams of the long, long ago

(Short music break)

There's an old spinning wheel in the parlour.

There's an old spinning wheel in the parlour,
Spinning dreams of the love long ago.
Spinning dreams of an old fashioned garden
And a maid with her old fashioned beau.

Sometimes it seems that I can hear her in the twilight,
And The organ softly singin' "Old Black Joe".
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlour,
Spinning dreams of the love long ago.

Sometimes it seems that I can hear her in the twilight,
And The organ softly singin' "Old Black Joe".
There's an old spinning wheel in the parlour,
Spinning dreams of the love long ago,
Spinning dreams of the love long ago,
Spinning dreams of the love long ago,
Spinning dreams of long ago.
