(Billy Hill)
Ray Noble and His Orchestra
There's an old covered bridge
Across the Old Mill stream
Covered with memories for me
It was there in my childhood I used to dream
That my bridge was a ship far at sea
With my sweetheart holding hands
I'd sail to far off lands
But now that sea has gone
No one understands
Just the old covered bridge
Across the Old Mill stream
Covered with memories for me
