[Verse]
D A Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning A D Close by the window young Eileen is spinning D G D Bent o'er the fire her blind grandmother sitting G D A D Is crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting.
[Chorus]
D A Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring A D Swings the wheel spins the wheel while her foot's stirring D G D Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing G D A D Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.
[Verse]
D A Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping A D 'Tis the ivy dear mother against the glass flapping D G D Eileen, I surely hear somebody sighing G D A D 'Tis the sound mother dear of the autumn winds dying.
[Chorus]
D A Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring A D Swings the wheel spins the wheel while her foot's stirring D G D Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing G D A D Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.
[Verse]
D A What's the noise that I hear at the window I wonder? A D 'Tis the little birds chirping the holly bush under D G D What makes you be shoving and moving your stool on? G D A D And singing all wrong the old song of the 'Coolin'?
[Chorus]
D A Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring A D Swings the wheel spins the wheel while her foot's stirring D G D Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing G D A D Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.
[Verse]
D A There's a form at the casement the form of her true love A D And he whispers with face bent I'm waiting for you love D G D Get up on the stool through the lattice step lightly G D A D And we'll rove in the grove while the moon's shining brightly.
[Chorus]
D A Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring A D Swings the wheel spins the wheel while her foot's stirring D G D Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing G D A D Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.
[Verse]
D A The maid shakes her head on her lips lays her fingers A D Steps up from the stool longs to go and yet lingers D G D A frightened glance turns to her drowsy grandmother G D A D Puts her foot on the stool spins the wheel with the other
[Chorus]
D A Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring A D Swings the wheel spins the wheel while her foot's stirring D G D Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing G D A D Trills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.
[Verse]
D A Lazily, easily, now swings the wheel round A D Slowly and lowly is heard now the reel's sound D G D Noiseless and light to the lattice above her G D A D The maid steps, then leaps to the arms of her lover.
