I need some help with the lyrics for the song "Oh, Are You Sleeping Maggie." Many of the words in the database are in a Scots dialect that I can't understand.

The words I need help with are: carry, boortree, cruist and aboon.

Some of the verses are just confusing. I understand the individual words but not the meaning of the verse. Especially the one about the boortree bank.

Sorry, I'm blue clicky challenged and I'm not sure if I can just cut and paste the lyrics from a text file. I'd be happy to do that if I can and if it would help.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks a bunch for the help.
