O'E R BOGIE.
I Will a awa’ wi’ my love,
I will awa’ wi’ her:
Tho’ a’ my kin had fworn and faid,
I will awa’ wi’ her.

O’er Bogie wi’ her,
Tho’ a’ my kin had fworn and faid,

For now fhe’s miftrefs of my heart.
And wordy of my hand,
And well I wat we fhanna part
For filler or for land.
I’ll o’er Bogie, &c.
Let rakes delight to fwear and drink,
And beaus admire fine lace ;
Boit my chief pleafure is to blink
On Betty’s bonny face.
I’ll o’er Bogie, See.
There a’ the beauties do combine.
Of colour, traits, and air,
The faul that fparkles in her een
Makes her a jewel rare.
I’ll o’er Bogie, &c.
Her flowing wit gives Aiming life
To a’ her other charms;
How bleft I’ll be when ftie’s my wife.
And lock’d up in my arms!
Ill o’er Bogie, &c.
There blythly will I rant and fing,
While o’er her fweets I range,
I’ll cry, your humble fervant, king,
• Shame fa’ them that wad change.
I’ll o’er Bogie, Sic.
A kifs of Betty, and a fmile.
Albeit ye wad lay down
The right ye hae to Britain’s ifle,
And offer me ye’r crown.
I’ll o’er Bogie, &c.
