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!
