Scroggam, My Dearie

    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.
