Summer's a pleasant time

Flowers of every colour

The water runs o'er the heugh

And I long for my true lover

Aye waukin-O

Waukin still and weary

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking of my dearie

Ay waukin O

When I sleep I dream

When I wake I'm eerie

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking of my dearie

Aye waukin-O

Waukin still and weary

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking of my dearie

Ay waukin O

Lonely night comes on

A' the lave are sleepin'

I think on my bonnie lad

And blur my eyes wi' weepin'

Aye waukin-O

Waukin still and weary

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking of my dearie

Ay waukin O

Waukin still and weary

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking of my dearie

Ay waukin O
