o let me in thes ae night

  o lassie, are ye sleepin yet,

  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 noe back again, jo!

  o hear'st thou not the wind an' weet?

  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.
