Are Ye Sleeping, Maggie

Are Ye Sleeping Maggie

Mirk and rainy is the night
There's no a star in a' the carry
Lightening gleams across the sky
And winds they blaw wi winter fury

O are you sleeping Maggie
O are you sleeping Maggie
Let me in , for loud the linn
Is roaring oґer the warlocks craigie

Fearfur' flows the boortree bank
The rifted wood roars wild and dreary
Loud the iron yet does clank
And cry of howlets mak me eerie

Aboon my breath I daurna speak
For fear Iґl lrouse your wakeful daddie
Cauld's the blast upon my check
O rise, O rise, my bonnie lassie

She's open'd the door, she's let him in
Heґs cruist aside his dreeping plaidie
Ye can blow ye worst, ye winds and rain
Since Maggie noo Iґm in aside thee

O noo that you're wakin, Maggie
O noo that you're wakin, Maggie
What care I for howlets cry
For roaring linn or warlocks craigie
