The Spinning Wheel-Mary O' Hara

The Spinning Wheel - Mary O'Hara Mellow to the moonlight to shine is beginnin Close by the window young eileen is spinnin Then t'ward the fire her blind grandmother's sittin Who's croonin' and moanin' and drowsily knittin Merrily cheerily noiselessly working Spins the wheel swings the wheel while the food's stirring Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringin Sounds the sweet voice of a young maiden singin Merrily cheerily noiselessly working Spins the wheel swings the wheel while the food's stirring Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringin Sounds the sweet voice of a young maiden singin There's a form at the casement 'Tis the form of her true love He whispers to her I am waiting for you love Get up on the stool through the lattice step lightly And we'll rove through the grove While the moon's shinin' brightly Merrily cheerily noiselessly working Spins the wheel swings the wheel while the food's stirring Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringin Sounds the sweet voice of a young maiden singin Slower and slower and slower the wheel spins Lower and lower and lower the reel rings Now the reel and the wheel stop their spinning and movin Through the grove young lovers by moonlight are rovin
