Summer's a pleasant time
Flowers of every colour
The water runs o'er the heugh 
And I long for my true lover 
Aye waukin-O
Waukin still and weary
Sleep I can get nane 
For thinking of my dearie
Ay waukin, O

When I sleep I dream
When I wake I'm eerie 
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking of my dearie
Aye waukin-O ...

Lonely night comes on
A' the lave are sleepin' 
I think on my bonnie lad
And blur my eyes wi' weepin' 
Aye waukin-O...
