Are Ye Sleepin' Maggie? - Dougie MacLean

Mirk and rainy is the nicht

There's no' a staurn in a' the carry

Lightnings gleam athwart the lift

And winds drive wi' a winter's fury

O are ye sleepin' Maggie

O are ye sleepin' Maggie

Let me in for loud the linn

Is roarin' ower the warlock craigie

Fearfu' soughs the boortree bank

The rifted wood roars wild and dreary

Loud the iron yett does clank

And cry of howlets mak's me eerie

O are ye sleepin' Maggie

O are ye sleepin' Maggie

Let me in for loud the linn

Is roarin' ower the warlock craigie

Abune my breath I daurna speak

For fear I wake your waukrife daddie

Cauld's the blast upon my cheek

O rise rise my bonnie lady

O are ye sleepin' Maggie

O are ye sleepin' Maggie

Let me in for loud the linn

Is roarin' ower the warlock craigie

She oped the door she let him in

He cuist aside his dreepin' plaidie

Blaw yer warst ye rain and win'

Since Maggie noo I'm in aside ye

Noo since ye're wauken Maggie

Noo since ye're wauken Maggie

What care I for howlets' cry

For boortree bank or warlock craigie
