[Verse]
Oh this Gevening's Cpassed so Gquickly,
And the music's aDlmost Gdone
We've heard the piper Cand the fGiddler,
The singer aDnd his Gsong
DTime has come for Gus tae leave ye,
COne last Gsong befCore we Dgo..
[Chorus]
So button Gup and aCye be chGeery,
And tak' a dram aDfore ye Ggo
So button up and Caye be cGheery,
And tak' a dram aDfore ye Ggo.
[Verse]
Oh, this nGight we Cwill Gremember,
And the music's beDen just Gfine
But the cold grey lCand of GCaithness
Can be cruel Dand unkGind
DWe must bid fareweel Gand leave ye
CTravel Gthrough the Cice and Dsnow
[Chorus]
So button Gup, and aCye be cGheery
And tak' a dram afDore ye Ggo
So button up and aCye be cGheery
And tak' a dram afDore ye Ggo

Our glasses we Dwill reGfill
DWe'll drink a health tae Gabsent friends,
CAnd make the Gbeer and Cwhisky Dflow.
[Chorus]
So button Gup, and Caye be cGheery
And tak' a dram afDore ye Ggo
So button up, and Caye be Gcheery
