Yet each true hearted Scotsman by nature jocose,
Loves always to dine on a dish o’ guid Brose;
And thanks be and praise, we’ve yet plenty of those,
O the Kail Brose of Auld Scotland,
An’ o’ the Scottish Kail Brose.


CAULD KAIL IN ABERDEEN.

There’s cauld kail in Aberdeen,
And castocks in Stra’bogie,
Where ilka lad maun hae his lass,
But I maun hae my cogie.
But I maun hae my cogie, troth,
I canna want my cogie
I wadna gie my three-gird cog,
For a’ the wives in Bogie.

Johnny Smith has got a wife,
Wha scrimps him o’ his cogie;
But were she mine, upon my life,
I’d duck her in a Bogie.
For I maun hae my cogie, troth,
I canna want my cogie,
I wadna gie my three gird cog,
For a’ the wives in Bogie.

Twa or three todlin weans they hae,
The pride o' a' Stra’bogie,
