Title - The Hash o Monedie
Contributors - Willie Mathieson
Reporters - Hamish Henderson

Summary - A bothy song that details the hash [workforce] on the farm at Moneydie. Sandy Tams is a formidable foreman; Angus is the second man; Wilson is young but good; Ferris is a ladies' man and will need to watch his step; Munro is a strapper; Baron is the baillie [cattleman], a good man, ranting, roving and short-legged; the farmer's son is a big lad; and John Smith is the gaffer. At the harvest the lasses and lads work well.
