    Lyrics
    In days gone by when the world was much younger
    We harnessed the wind for to work for mankind
    Seamen built tall ships to sail on the ocean.
    Landsmen built wheels the corn for to grind

    Around and around and around went the big sails
    Turning the shaft in the great wooden wheels.
    Creaking and groaning, the millstone kept turning
    Grinding to flour the corn from the fields

    In Flanders and Spain and the low coast of Holland
    In the Kingdoms of England and Scotland and Wales
    Windmills grew up all along the wild coastline
    Ships of the land with their high canvas sails

    In Lancashire lands we work hard as the good earth
    Plowing and sowing as the seasons declare
    Waiting to reap of the rich golden harvest
    While the miller was idle his mill he'd repair

    Windmills of old wood all darkened by weather
    Windmills of stone, glaring white in the sun
    Windmills like giants all ready for tilting
    Windmills that died in the gale of the storm
