Are Ye Sleeping Maggie?/The Noose And The Ghillie Lyrics by Tannahill Weavers

The Mermaid’s Song

0

Mirk an' dreary is the nicht
There's no' a staurn in a' the carry
Lichtnin's gleam athwart the lift
An' the cauld winds drive wi' winter's fury
Oh, are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Oh, and are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Let me in for loud the linn
Is howlin' 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
Oh, are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Oh, and are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Let me in for loud the linn
Is howlin' ower the warlock Craigie
Abune my breath I daurnae speak
For fear I rouse your waukrife daddy
Cauld's the blast upon my cheek
Arise, arise, my bonnie lady
Oh, are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Oh, and are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Let me in for loud the linn
Is howlin' ower the warlock Craigie
She's op'd the door, she's let him in
She's cuist aside his dreepin' plaidie
What care I for rain or wind
For Maggie noo I'm here aside ye
Oh, are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Oh, and are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Let me in for loud the linn
Is howlin' ower the warlock Craigie
Oh, are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Oh, and are ye sleepin' Maggie?
Let me in for loud the linn
Is howlin' ower the warlock Craigie
