Ay Waukin' O !

Simmer 's a pleasant time,

Flowers of every colour;

The water rins o'er the heugh,

And I long for my true lover!

Chorus:

Ay waukin, Oh,

Waukin still and weary:

Sleep I can get nane,

For thinking on my Dearie. -

When I sleep I dream,

When I wauk I'm irie;

Sleep I can get nane,

For thinking on my Dearie. -

Ay waukin, Oh...

Lanely night comes on,

A' the lave are sleepin:

I think on my bonie lad,

And I bleer my een wi' greetin. -

Ay waukin, Oh...
