"Are Ye Sleepin Maggie?"
trad. arr. Dougie MacLean 1984
>From the album (?) and
The Putmayo Celtic Collection
// / // X4
Mach [Mirk] and rainy is the nicht [night]
There's no a star in a' the carry
Lightning gleams athwart the lift
And winds drive on with winter's fury
[Chorus:]
O are you sleepin' Maggie
O are you sleepin' Maggie
Let me in, for loud the linn
Is roaring now o'er the warlacragie [warlock craigie]
Fearfu' socks the boortree bank
The rifted wood roars wild and dreary
Loud the iron yet does clank
And cry of howlets mak me eerie
Aboon my breath I daurna speak
For fear I'll rise your waalkrife daddie
Cold's the blast upon my cheek
Arise, Arise, my bonnie lady
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]

[Chorus]
She's op'ed the door, she's let him in
He's cruist aside his dreeping plaidie
Blow your worst ye rainie wind
Since Maggie now I'm in asideya
New since you're walkin' Maggie
New since you're walkin' Maggie
What care I for howlets cry
For roaring linn or warlacragie
[bridge]

not the most basic.Questions or comments welcome.
