Ay Waukin, O

Ay Waukin, O - Ewan MacColl

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 on my deary

When I sleep I dream

When I woke I'm eerie

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking on my deary

Aye waukin o

Waukin still and weary

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking on my deary

Lately night comes on

A' the lave are sleepin'

I think on my bonnie lad

And the blur my eyes wi' creepin'

Aye waukin o

Waukin still and weary

Sleep I can get nane

For thinking on my deary
