W:Down By The Old Mill Stream
W:
W:My darling I am dreaming of the days gone by,
W:When you and I were sweethearts beneath the summer sky;
W:Your hair has turned to silver the gold has faded too;
W:But still I will remember, where I first met you.
W:
W:The old mill wheel is silent and has fallen down,
W:The old oak tree has withered and lies there on the ground;
W:While you and I are sweethearts the same as days of yore;
W:Although we've been together, forty years and more.
W:
W:(Chorus)
W:Down by the old mill stream where I first met you,
W:With your eyes of blue, dressed in gingham too,
W:It was there I knew that you loved me true,
W:You were sixteen, my village queen, by the old mill stream.
