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.
