(Verse 1)
Simmer 's a pleasant time
Flowers of every colour;
The water rins o'er the heugh
And I long for my true lover!

(Chorus)
Ay waukin, Oh
Waukin still and weary:
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking on my Dearie. -

(Verse 2)
When I sleep I dream
When I wauk I'm irie;
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking on my Dearie. -

(Chorus)
Ay waukin, Oh
Waukin still and weary:
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking on my Dearie. -

(Verse 3)
Lanely night comes on
A' the lave are sleepin:
I think on my boniе lad
And I bleer my een wi' greetin. -
(Chorus)
Ay waukin, Oh
Waukin still and weary:
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking on my Dеarie. -
