And ye may sit up a" the night,
And drink till it be braid day-light ;
Gie me a lass that's clean and tight^
To dance the reel o 1 Bogie.
In cotillons the French excel,
John Bull in countra dances ;
The Spaniards dance fandangos well ;
Mynheer an ai'mande prances :
In foursome reels the Scots delight ;
At threesome they dance wond'rous light ;
But twasome ding a" out o' sight,
Danc'd to the reel o 1 Bogie.
Come, lads, and view yourpartners well.
Wale each a blythsome rogie ;
Til tak this lassie to mysel,
She looks sae keen and vogie :
Now, piper lad, bang up the spring ;
The countra fashion is the thing,
To prie their mou's ere we begin
To dance the reel o 1 Bogie.
