Dere's A Little Wheel A-Turnin'- Dett 1926
Dere's a little wheel a-turnin' in my heart,
Dere's a little wheel a-turnin' in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart;
Dere's a little wheel a-turnin' in my heart.
O I feel so happy in my heart,
O I feel so happy in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart;
O I feel so happy in my heart.
O I feel like shoutin' in my heart,
O I feel like shoutin' in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart;
O I feel like shoutin' in my heart.
O I don't feel no ways tired in my heart,
O I don't feel no ways tired in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart;
O I don't feel no ways tired in my heart.
I've a double 'termination in my heart,
I've a double 'termination in my heart,
In my heart, in my heart;
I've a double 'termination in my heart.
