Are Ye Sleeping Maggie Lyrics

Are Ye Sleeping Maggie lyrics

Mirk and rainy is the nicht 

 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 o´er the warlocks craigie 

  

 Fearfu´ flows the boortree bank 

 The rifted wood roars wild and dreary 

 Loud the iron yett does clank 

 And cry of howlets mak me eerie 

  

 Aboon my breath I daurna speak 

 For fear I´ll rouse your wakeful daddie 

 Cauld´s the blast upon my check 

 O rise, O rise, my bonnie lassie 

  

 She´s op´ed the door, she´s let him in 

 He´s cruist aside his dreeping plaidie 

 Ye can blow ye worst, ye winds and rain 

 Since Maggie noo I´m 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 warlock´s craigie
