Are Ye Sleepin' Maggie?

Lyrics

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
 CHORUS
 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
 CHORUS
 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?
