Are Ye Sleepin Maggie?
by Dougie MacLean
Mach and rainy is the nicht
There's no a star in a' the carry
Lightnin gleams athwart the lift
And winds drive on wi' winter's fury
O are you sleepin Maggie?
O are you sleepin Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roarin now o'er the warlacragie
Fearfu' socks the boortree bank
The rifted wood roars wild and dreary
Loud the iron yet does clank
And cry o' howlets maks me eerie
O are you sleepin Maggie?
O are you sleepin Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roarin now o'er the warlacragie
Aboon my breath I daurna speak
For fear Ill rouse your waalkrife daddie
Colds the blast upon my cheek
Arise, Arise, my bonnie lady
O are you sleepin Maggie?
O are you sleepin Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roarin now o'er the warlacragie
O are you sleepin Maggie?
O are you sleepin Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roarin now o'er the warlacragie
Shes op'ed the door, shes let him in
He's cast aside his drippin plaidie
Blow your worst ye rainie wind
Since Maggie noo Im in asideya
Noo since youre wakin Maggie
Noo since youre wakin Maggie
What care I for howlets cry
For boortree bank or warlagragie
