Thanks for listening gang

(Delia Murphy, John Francis Waller)
Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning
Close by the window young Eileen is spinning
Bent o'er the fire her blind grandmother sitting
Is crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting

Merrily, cheerily, noisily, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Sounds 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, noisily, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing

"What's that noise that I hear at the window I wonder?"
"'Tis the little birds chirping, the holly-bush under"
"What makes you be pushing and moving your stool on?
And singing all wrong that old song of Coolin?"

Merrily, cheerily, noisily, whirring
Swings the wheel, spins the wheel while the foot's stirring
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing
