  • Lyrics: (Scots dialect spelled phonetically) Mirk and rainy is the nicht, There's no a star in a' the carry; Lightnings gleam athwart the lift, And cauld winds drive wi' winter's fury. O! are ye sleepin', Maggie? O! are ye sleepin', Maggie? Let me in, for loud the linn Is roarin' o'er the warlock craigie! Fearfu' soughs the boortree bank, The rifted wood roars wild and drearie, Loud the iron yett does clank, And cry o' hoolets maks me eerie. Aboon my breath I daurna speak For fear I rouse your waukrife daddie; Cauld's the blast upon my cheek, Arise, arise, my bonnie lady! She's op'd the door, she's let him in; He's cast aside his dreepin' plaidie; Blaw your warst, ye rain and win', Since, Maggie, noo I'm in aside ye. Noo since ye're waukin', Maggie, Noo since ye're waukin', Maggie, What care I for hoolet's cry, For boortree bank, or warlock craigie? Mirk and rainy is the nicht, There's no a star in a' the carry.
