I have a problem with just a few lyrics can anyone add them. This song I got from Mary O'Hara "Songs of Ireland"

THE LEPRECHAUN (on her album it is spelled leprauchan). I don't know where they got that spelling.

In a shady nook one moonlit night a leprechaun I spied, With scarlet cap and coat of green a cruiscín by his side. It was tic, tic, tic his hammer went upon a weeny shoe, And I laughed when I thought of his purse of gold, But the fairy was laughing too.

With tip toe step and beating heart quite softly I drew nigh. There was mischief in his merry face a twinkle in his eye He hammered and sang with tiny voice and drank his mountain dew. And I laughed to think he was caught at last, But the fairy was laughing too.

____________ I seized the elf, "your fairy purse" I cried. "The purse" he said "is in her hand,the lady by your side" I turned to look, the elf was off. Then what was I to do? Ohhh, I laughed to think what a fool I'd been ...... And the fairy was laughing too!

Can you fill in the blanks?
