Mirk and rainy is the nicht, 

There's no' a staum in a' the carry 

Lichtnin's gleam athwart the lift, 

And cauld winds drive wi' winters fury. 

Chorus 

Oh, are ye sleeping Maggie 

Let me in, for loud the linn is howling 

Ower the warlock Craigie. 

2. 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 

3. 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 

4. 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 an aside ye. 

Chorus 

Noo since your waukin' Maggie, 

What care I for hoolits cry,
