Sp then farewell ; of this be sure,
Since you've been false to me, Mary ;
For all the world I'll not endure
Half what I've done for thee, Mary.
Cauld Kail in Aberdeen,
To its own Tune.
There's cauld kail in Aberdeen,
An' castocks in Stra'bogie ;
Gin I hae but a bonny lass,
Ye're welcome to your cogie,
An' ye may sit up a' the night,
An' drink till it be braid day-light ;
Gic me a lass that's clean an' tight, ,
To dance the reel of Bogie„
In cotillons the French excel ;
John Bull in country dances ;
The Spaniards dance fandangos well,
Mynheer an al'mande prances ;
In foursome reels the Scots delight,
The threesome maist dance wondrous light,
But twasome ding a* out o' sight,
Danc'd to the reel of Bogie,
Since you've been false to me, Mary ;
For all the world I'll not endure
Half what I've done for thee, Mary.
