WHA WUD BE A TATTIEBOGLE? by William Soutar Wha wud be a tattiebogle, tattiebogle Dringin oot his days: Wha wud be a tattie-bogle In castawa claes? A wüdden-leg aye on the shoggle: Airms aye streekit wide: Wha wud be a tattie-bogle And thole sic a trade? Scowtherie days to gar ye joggle; Stourie days atween: Wha wud be a tattiebogle Is mair nor I ken. |
