CAULD KAIL IN ABERDEEN.
This song is by the Duke of Gordon.—The old verses are,
“There’s cauld kail in Aberdeen,
And castocks in Strathbogie;
When ilka lad maun hae his lass,
Then fye, gie me my coggie.
Chorus.
My coggie, Sirs, my coggie, Sirs,
I cannot want my coggie;
I wadna gie my three-girr’d cap
For e’er a quene on Bogie.—
There’s Johnie Smith has got a wife,
That scrimps him o’ his coggie,
If she were mine, upon my life
I wad douk her in a bogie.”
