about

A lovely Scottish ballad telling a tale we are very familiar with and fond of - the night has come to an end. We’ve heard some great music, shared some great stories, made new friends, remembered old friends. The time has come for us for us to leave you, one last song before we go. Button up and aye be cheery. Take a Dram before you go.

lyrics

Oh this evenin's passed so quickly, and the music's almost done.
Heard the piper and the fiddler, the singer and the song.
The time has come for us to leave you, one last song afore we go.
So button up and aye be cheery, and take a dram afore ye go.
So button up and aye be cheery, and take a dram afore ye go.

For this night we will remember, and the music's been just fine.
But the cold grey land of Glasgow, can be cruel and unkind.
We must bid farewell and leave you, travel through the ice and snow.
So button up and aye be cheery, and take a dram afore ye go.
So button up and aye be cheery, and take a dram afore ye go.

So goodnight and god be with you, and watch over you until,
We can all meet hear the gether, and our glasses we'll refill.
We'll drink a health to absent friends, make the beer and whiskey flow.
So button up and aye be cheery, and take a dram afore ye go.
So button up and aye be cheery, and take a dram afore ye go.
