The Spinning Wheel Lyrics & Tabs by The Evergreens
The Spinning Wheel
guitar chords lyrics
Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning
Close by the window young Eileen is spinning
Bent o'er the fire her blind grandmother sitting
He's crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Thrills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
"Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping"
"'Tis the ivy, dear mother, against the glass flapping"
"Eily, I surely hear somebody sighing"
"'Tis the sound, mother dear, of the autumn winds dying"
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Thrills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
There's a form at the casement, the form of her true love
And he whispers with face bent: "I'm waiting for you love"
"Get up on the stool, through the lattice step lightly
And we'll rove in the grove while the moon's shining brightly"
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Thrills the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
Slower and slower and slower the wheel swings
Lower and lower and lower the reel rings
Ere the reel and the wheel stopped there ringing and moving
Through the grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving
Through the grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving
