211. Song—My Hoggie

 WHAT will I do gin my Hoggie die?
 My joy, my pride, my Hoggie!
My only beast, I had nae mae,
 And vow but I was vogie!
The lee-lang night we watch’d the fauld,
 Me and my faithfu’ doggie;
We heard nocht but the roaring linn,
 Amang the braes sae scroggie.



But the houlet cry’d frau the castle wa’,
 The blitter frae the boggie;
The tod reply’d upon the hill,
 I trembled for my Hoggie.

When day did daw, and cocks did craw,
 The morning it was foggie;
An unco tyke, lap o’er the dyke,
 And maist has kill’d my Hoggie!
