I totally love this song, especially the version sung by the band 'Rapalje'. If you're looking for the better kind of music, just look them up on youtube.
 


ARE YE SLEEPING MAGGIE

3 3 4 4 -4 4 -3
Mirk and rain-y is the nicht.
4 -4 3 3 3 -3 3 3 3
There’s no a star in a’ the car-ry
3 3 -3 4 4 4 -3
Light-ning gleams a-cross the sky
4 -4 3 3 3 -3 3 3 3
And winds they blaw wi’ win-ter fu-ry
4 4 -4 3 3 4 4 4 -3
And it’s oh, are you sleep-in’ Mag-gie
4 3 3 4 -5 5 4
Oh, are you sleep-in’ Mag-gie
-3 3 -3 -4 -4 4 4
Let me in for loud the linn
4 -4 3 3 3 3 3 -3 3 3
Is roar-in’ ow-er the war-locks crai-gie

Fearfu' flows the boortree bank
The rifted wood roars wild and dreary
Loud the iron yett does clank
And cry of howlets mak me eerie

Aboon my breath I daurna speak
For fear I'll rouse your wakeful daddie
Cauld's the blast upon my check
O rise, O rise, my bonnie lassie

She's op'ed the door, she's let him in
He's cruist aside his dreeping plaidie
Ye can blow ye worst, ye winds and rain
Since Maggie noo I'm in aside thee

O noo that you're wakin, Maggie
O noo that you're wakin, Maggie
What care I for howlets cry
For roaring linn or warlock's craigie.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
