And beautiful head, love, Gatherin' up the golden grain.
Bindin' the oats in sweet September,
Don't you remember The stolen pogue ? 1 How could I help but there deliver
My heart forever To such a beautiful little rogue ?
Bindin' the oats, 'twas there you found me,
There you bound me That harvest day! Ah ! that I in your blessed bond, love.
Fair and fond, love, Happy, forever and ever, stay !

By the heel o' the evenin' we'll have them down.
1 Pogne, kiss.
