Are You Sleeping, Maggie? Songtext

Mirk and rainy is the night No a star'n a' the carry Lightnings gleam athwart the lift And winds drive in wi' winter's fury O are ye sleepin', Maggie? O are ye sleepin', Maggie? Let me in for loud the linn Is roaring o'er the warlock craigie Fearfu' soughs the boortree bank The rifted wood roars wild and dreary Loud the iron yett does clank And cry o' howlets mak's me eerie O are ye sleepin', Maggie? etc. Aboon my breath I daurna speak For fear I rouse your waukrife daddie Cauld's the blast upon my cheek O rise, rise, my bonnie lady! O are ye sleepin', Maggie etc. She op't the door, she let him in He cuist aside his dreepin' plaidie Blaw your warst ye rain an' win' Since Maggie now I'm in aside ye Now since ye're wakin Maggie! Now since ye're wakin' Maggie! What care I for howlets cry For boortree bank or warlock craigie
