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!

Ay waukin' O,
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 can I get nane
For thinking on my Dearie.

Ay waukin' O,
Waukin still and weary:
Sleep I can get nane,
For thinking on my Dearie.

Lanely night comes on,
A' the lave are sleepin:
I think on my bonie lad,
And I bleer my een wi' greetin.

Ay waukin' O,
Waukin still and weary:
Sleep I can get nane,
For thinking on my Dearie.
