    o lassie, are ye sleepin yet,

    or are ye waukin, i wad wit?

    for love has bound me hand an' fit,

    this ae, ae, ae night;

    o let me in this ae night,

    i'll no come back again, jo!

    nae star blinks thro' the driving sleet;

    tak pity on my weary feet,

    and shield me frae the rain, jo.

    o let me in, c.

    the bitter blast that round me blaws,

    unheeded howls, unheeded fa's;

    the cauldness o' thy heart's the cause

    of a' my care and pine, jo.

    o let me in, c.
