o let me in thes ae night
o ssie, are ye sleepi,
or are ye waukin, i wad wit?
for love has bound me hand an' fit,
and i would fain be in, jo.
chorus—o let me in this ae night,
this ae, ae, ae night;
o let me in this ae night,
i'll no e back again, jo!
o hear'st thou not the wind an' weet?
ar 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 bst that round me bws,
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.
