Need to fill in the blanks in my mind for a song I love to sing. Here, I think, is the way the song starts:
Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning
Close by the window young Eileen is spinning
Bent oer the fire her bind grandmother's sitting
She's moaning and crooning and lazily knitting.
Chorus: Merrily, cheerily, nosily whirring
Spins the wheel swings the reel while the foot's stirring
Brightly and sprightly and airily ringing
Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing....
