And I would fain be in, jo.

Chorus.
O let me in this ae night,
This ae, ae, ae night;
For pity's sake this ae night,
O rise and let me in, jo.
O let me in this ae night,
This ae, ae, ae night;
For pity's sake this ae night,
O rise and let me in, jo.
Thou hear'st the wintry wind and 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.
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 around me blaws
Unheeded howls, unheeded fa's;
The cauldness o' thy heart's the cause
Of a my grief and pain, jo.
O let me in, &c.
Unheeded howls, unheeded fa's;
The cauldness o' thy heart's the cause
Of a my grief and pain, jo.
O let me in, &c.

O tell na me o' wind and rain,
Upbraid na me wi' cauld disdain!
Upbraid na me wi' cauld disdain!
