What Will I Do Gin My Hoggie Die Lyrics

     What Will I do gin my Hoggie Die?
          (Robert Burns)

   What will I do gin my Hoggie die ?
     My joy, my pride, my Hoggie!
   My only beast, I had nae mae,
     And vow but I was vogie!

   The lee-lang night we watched the fauld,
     Me and my faithfu doggie;
   We heard nocht but the roaring linn,
      Amang the braes sae scroggie.

   But the houlet cry'd frae the castle wa',
      The blitter frae the boggie,
   The tod reply'd upon the hill:
      I trembled for my hoggie.

  When day did daw, and cocks did craw,
     The morning it was foggie,
  An unco tyke lap o'er the dyke,
     And maist has kill'd my hoggie!
