Song—My Hoggie

  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!
