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
And all 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
