SLEEPY BODIE. Scottish, Air and Jig (6/8 time). F Major (Gow, Thomson): A Major (McGibbon). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Thomson): AABB (Gow): AABBCCDD (McGibbon). The song was first printed in Scottish singer and collector William Thompson's [1] (c. 1695-1753) in his Orpheus Caledonius, vol. 2 (1733). There are only two stanzas to the song, as printed by Thomson.
O sleepy body, drowsy body,
Wiltuna waken an turn thee:
To drivel and draunt, while I fight and gaunt
Gives me good reason to scorn thee.
When though shouldst be kind,
Thou turns sleepy and blind,
And snoters and snores far frae me,
Wae light on they face, the drowsy embrace,
Is enough to gar me betray thee.
