Mirk and rainy is the nicht
There's no a star in a' the carry
Lightning gleams athwart the lift
And winds drive on with winter's fury

O are you sleepin' Maggie
O are you sleepin' Maggie
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roaring 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 of howlets mak me eerie

O are you sleepin' Maggie
O are you sleepin' Maggie
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roaring now o'er the warlacragie

Aboon my breath I daurna speak
For fear I'll rise your waalkrife daddie
Cold's 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 roaring now o'er the warlacragie

She's op'ed the door, she's let him in
He's [bad word] aside his dreeping plaidie
Blow your worst ye rainie wind
Since Maggie now I'm in asideya

New since you're walkin' Maggie
New since you're walkin' Maggie
What care I for howlets cry
For boortree bank or warlacragie
