lyrics
The norlin blast wi ' angry sough , Blaws throu the willow boggie , 0 ; But let it blaw , sae lang as we Hae plenty in our coggie , 0 . O ; The coggie is the thing to cheer The heart when press’d wi ' sorrrow , The present time is only ours , Let’s ne'er think on the morrow , 0 .
Were we to sit an ' fret an pine On what may yet befa's , O , I doubt they throu a needle's e'e , In twa three weeks micht draw us , O. a Some folks wha naething better ken , Misca ' puir chields for drinking , 0 ; But I mysel ' whiles toom my cog , To keep my mind frae thinking 0 .
The richest nabob i ' the land , Wha rides an ' drives sae voggie , 0 , Was ne'er sae happy's I hae been , When seated round my coggie , 0 . Let's toom our coggie ance or twice , An ' syne we a ' get happy , 0 ; We think nae mair on book or bills , Sae lang’s we hae the drappy , 0 .
The shepherd swain wha roams a ' day , O'er mountain , moor , an craggie , O , Forgets the wind , the frost , the rain , When seated round his coggie , 0 . The cotter labourin ' i ' the field , At e'en looks blyth an ' cheerie , 0 ; When seated round the cozy hearth , Wi ' coggie , brat , an ' dearie , 0 .
Awa wi ' wealth , awa wi ' kings , Awa wi ' pride sae dressy , 0 ; Bring Shakspear's plays an ' Burns ' lays , My coggie an ' my lassie , O. Gif fortune then wi ' that wou'd gie , A muckle hearted crony , 0 ; A ' pilfered gowd I would despise , An ' happy be as ony , 0
