O Lassie, Art Thou Sleeping Yet.

Tune - "Let me in this ae night."


I.

    O Lassie, art thou sleeping yet,
    Or art thou waking, I would wit?
    For love has bound me hand and foot,
        And I would fain be in, jo.
            O let me in this ae night,
                This ae, ae, ae night;
            For pity's sake this ae night,
                O rise and let me in, jo!

II.

    Thou hear'st the winter wind and weet!
    Nae star blinks thro' the driving sleet:
    Tak pity on my weary feet,
        And shield me frae the rain, jo.

III.

    The bitter blast that round me blaws,
    Unheeded howls, unheeded fa's;
    The cauldness o' thy heart's the cause
        Of a' my grief and pain, jo.
            O let me in this ae night,
                This ae, ae, ae night;
            For pity's sake this ae night,
                O rise and let me in, jo!
