Verse 2

cho: Merrily cheerily noisily whirring

Swings the wheel spins the wheel

while the foot's stirring

Sprightly and lightly and

merrily ringing

Sounds the sweet voice of the

young maiden singing.

Verse 3
D 
A 
Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping
'Tis the ivy dear mother against
D 
the glass flapping
G 
D 
Eileen, I surely hear somebody sighing
G 
D 
'Tis the sound mother dear of the
A 
D 
autumn winds dying.

Verse 4
D 
There's a form at the casement,
A 
the form of her true love
And he whispers with face bent,
D 
I'm waiting for you love
Get up on the stool,
G 
D 
through the lattice step lightly
G 
D 
And we'll rove in the grove while
A 
D 
the moon's shining brightly.

Verse 5
D 
A 
cho: Merrily cheerily noisily whirring
Swings the wheel spins the wheel

Sprightly and lightly and
G 
D 
merrily ringing
G 
D 
Sounds the sweet voice of the young
A 
maiden singing.
D 

Verse 6
The maid shakes her head,
A 
on her lips lays her fingers
Steals up from the seat,
D 
longs to go and yet lingers
A frightened glance turns to her
G 
D 
drowsy grandmother
G 
D 
Puts one foot on the stool spins
A 
D 
the wheel with the other

Verse 7
D 
Lazily, easily,
A 
swings now the wheel round
Slowly and lowly is heard now
D 
the reel's sound
Noiseless and light to the
G 
D 
lattice above her
G 
The maid steps,
D 
A 
then leaps to the arms of her lover.
D 

Verse 8
Slower and slower,
A 
and slower the wheel swings
Lower and lower,
D 
and lower the reel rings
There the reel and the wheel stop
G 
D 
their spinning and moving
G 
D 
The grove the young lovers
A 
D 
by moonlight are roving.
