WATER WHEEL
(aka WHERE A WATER WHEEL KEEPS TURNING ON)
From the film "Red River Valley" (1936)
(Sam H. Stept / Oliver Drake)

Gene Autry & Frances Grant (feat. in the film "Oh, Susanna!") - 1936


AUTRY:
In the valley there's a lazy river flowing
Drifting ever over toward the sea
And a water wheel just seems to keep on turning
But it seems to croon a song of love to me


BOTH:
I'll always dream of a lazy stream
Where a water wheel keeps turning on
When shadows fall and the sun goes down
Like a water wheel my dreams go on


AUTRY:
Beside a lazy river stands a shady tree 
GRANT:
A little bit of Heaven's waiting there for me
BOTH:
I'll find my love by a lazy stream
Where a water wheel keeps turning on
