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.
