The Tannahill Weavers - Are Ye Sleeping 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 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?
