Twa dogies geed loupin loupin t' the mill,

Took a lick oot o' ae wife's bag,

Took a lick oot o' anither wife's bag,

An a lab oot o' the mill-dam,

Stoupie for loupie, hame again even." (Mrs. Chrystie, Elgin.)

Twa little dogies ran t' the mill.

This road an that road,

They took a lick oot o' this wife's pyock.

An a lick oot o' that wife's pyock,

An went hame loupie for spang." (Mrs. Adam.)

Twa dogies geed t' the mill,

This wye an that wye, this wye an that wye,

Took a laip oot this wife's pyock,

An a laip oot that wife's pyock,

An a laip oot o' the dam,

An a bite oot o' the bank,

An cam' hame loupie for spang." (Mrs. Moir.)

Twa dogies geed t' the mill,

This way an that way, that way an this way,

They took a lick oot o' this wife's pyock,

An a lick oot o' that wife's pyock,

An a laip oot o' the dam,

An they cam' hame loupie for spang, loupie for spang."

Twa dogies geed t' the mill,

Loupie for spang, loupie for spang;

An they got a lick oot o' this wife's pyock,

An a lick oot o' that wife's pyock,

An a slab oot o' the dam,

An hame they cam' loupie for spang." (Mrs. Scott, Aberdour.)

The dogies geed t' the mill,

Needle-noddle, needle-noddle, needle-noddle;

Tack a lick oot o' this wifie's pyock,

A lick oot o' that wifie's pyock,

A bite o' the bank,

A slab i' the dub,

A drink o' the lade,

An hame spangie for spangie,

Spangie for spangie, spangie for spangie." (Auchterless.)

The two last lines have a variant:—

An hame loupie for spangie,

Loupie for spang, loupie for spangie."
