FmEb Mach [Mirk] and rainy is the nicht [night] FmDbEb There's no a star in a' the carry FmEb Lightning gleams athwart the lift FmDbEb And winds drive on with winter's fury
[Chorus:] AbAb O are you sleepin' Maggie EbEb O are you sleepin' Maggie FmFmEb Let me in, for loud the linn FmDbEb 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:] Fm// F/ Eb// Fm// Db/ Eb/ [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]
