Scroggam

F. Scott

There was a wife wonn'd in Cockpen, Scroggam!

She brew'd guid 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!
