Whene’er the totums cry for meat,
She curses ay his cogie;
Crying, “Wae betide three-gird cog,
“Oh wae betide the cogie,
"It does mair skaith than a’ the ills,
“That happen in Stra’bogie.”

She fand him ance at Willie Sharp’s;
And, what they maist did laugh at,
She brake the bicker, spilt the drink,
And tightly gowff’d his haffet.
Crying, “Wae betide the three-gird cog,
“Oh, wae betide the cogie!
“It does mair skaith than a’ the ills,
“That happen in Stra’bogie.”

Yet here’s to ilka honest soul,
We’ll drink wi’ me a cogie;
And for ilk silly whingin fool,
We’ll duck him in a bogie.
For I maun hae my cogie, Sirs,
I canna want my cogie;
I wadna gie my three-gird cog,
For a’ the queans in Bogie.

Good ale comes and good ale goes,
Good ale gart me sell my hose,
