Chorus: Oh, are you sleeping, Maggie, Oh, are you sleeping, Maggie, let me in, for loud the linn is howling ower the warlock Craigie. Fearfu' soughs the boortree bank, the rifted wood roars wild and dreary Loud the iron yett does clank, the cry of hoolits mak's me eerie. Chorus Abune ma breath, I daurnae speak, for fear I rouse your waukrife Daddy Cauld's the blast upon my cheek, O rise, O rise my bonnie lady. Chorus She's ope'd the door, she's let him in, she's cuist aside his dreepin plaidie Blaw yer warst ye rain and wind, for Maggie noo I'm aside ye. Noo since your waukin' Maggie, noo since yer waukin' Maggie What care I for hoolits cry, for boortree bank or warlock Craigie.
