First Line: Ane by ane they gang awa'
Last Line: Syne begins a better sang!


ANE by ane they gang awa',
The Gaitherer gaithers great an' sma',
Ane by ane mak's ane an' a'.

Aye when ane sits doon the cup,
Ane ahint maun tak' it up,
Yet thegither they will sup.

Golden-heided, ripe an' strang,
Shorn will be the hairst ere lang,
Syne begins a better sang!
