[Verse 1]
Simmer's a pleasant time:
Flowers of every colour
The water rins owre the heugh
And I long for my true lover

[Chorus]
Ay waukin, O
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 eerie
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking on my dearie

[Chorus]
Ay waukin, O
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 bonie lad
And I bleer my een wi greeting
