scroggam, my dearie
there was a wife wonn'd in cockpen, scroggam;
she brew'd gude ale for gentlemen;
sing auld cowl lay ye down by me,
scroggam, my dearie, ruffum.
the gudewife's dochter fell in a fever, scroggam;
the priest o' the parish he fell in anither;
sing auld cowl lay ye down by me,
scroggam, my dearie, ruffum.
they laid the twa i' the bed thegither, scroggam;
that the heat o' the tane might cool the tither;
sing auld cowl, lay ye down by me,
scroggam, my dearie, ruffum.
