Is gold and grandure such an honour,
that it my piece of mind destroys,
True love I find it is much better,
than any of such empty toys.
My wit is cracked, with grief distracted,
my mind runs like the raging waves,
When I think on these loyal lovers
who now lie in their silent graves.
THE HOGG'S TUB
ONCE I courted as bonny a lass,
as ever my eyes did see,
But now she is so saucy grown,
she cares not a fig for me;
She invited me home to her own house,
she told me I ne'er should be poor,
Then she tumbl'd me into the hogg's tub,
I'll ne'er go there any more.
Chor. The hogg's tub, the pickling tub,
and the tub behind the door;
She tumbled me into the hogg's tub,
and I'll never go there any more.
Had I sunk unto the bottom,
as I swam round the brim,
I surely had been drowned,
and ne'er more had been seen.
But there came by an old friend of mine,
an old friend that I knew before,
He hauled me out of the hogg's tub
I'll never go there any more.The, &c.
