D
oh , are ye sleeping , maggie?
Em G
let me in , for loud the linn
C Em
is roarin’ o’er 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 makes me eerie .

chor

abune my breath i daurna speak
for fear i rouse your waukrife Daddie;
cauld’s the blast upon my cheek ,
o rise , rise my bonnie lady .

cho

she oped the door , she let him in
he cuist aside his dreepin’ plaidie .
’blaw your warst , ye rain and win’
since , maggie , now i’m in aside ye .

chor

now , since ye’re wauken , maggie ,
now , since ye’re wauken , maggie ,
what care i for howlet’s cry ,
for boortree bank or warlock craigie .
