The Bo (or Bugaboo) I was in my prenticeship and learning of my trade, I courted my master's daughter, made my heart right glad. I courted her both summers and winter nights also But I never could her favor win till I the Bogle Bo. Day being gone, and night on, my neighbor he took a sheet And into her room he went just like a wandering spirit. She went (went) running up and down, not knowing to go But right my bed she went for fear of the Bogle Bo. And so my true and me, (we both) fell fast asleep, But ere the morn at fair daylight, sore, sore did she Sore, did she weep; sore, sore did she mourn But ere she rose and put on her clothes, the bo was gone. You've done the to me last night, the thing you cannot shun taen from me my maidenhead, and I am quite undone. You've taen from me my maidenhead, and brought my low But, kind sir, if marry me, I will be your jo. Now married her and taen her hame, and it was but his part She's to him a loving wife, and joy of all his heart; He never her of the joke, nor ne'er intends to do But aye when his wife on him, he minds the Bogle bo. note: Dew variant; Collected by John Bell (1783- ??); in Lloyd's Folk Song in England. Lloyd suggests that the mysterious "foggy dew" of later versions is a of this one: in any case, it for a reasonable explanation, and this version tells a good story. doesn't give a tune, but it fits to th "Banks and Braes" version of Foggy Dew" Words in parentheses were inserted by RG to scansion.
