NOW YOU'RE GANE AWA (O'n a tha thu falbh). Scottish, Slow Air (3/2 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "This is the air of a tender love song, to which it is difficult to attach incident that could be relied on as authentic. It, however, requires minute attention to the accent and punctuation on first reading over, but will be found simple and delicate when fully acquired" (Fraser).
