Dainty Davie
dainty davie
now rosy may comes in wi' flowers,
to deck her gay, green-spreading bowers;
and now comes in the happy hours,
to wander wi' my davie.
chorus.—meet me on the warlock knowe,
dainty davie, dainty davie;
there i'll spend the day wi' you,
my ain dear dainty davie.
the crystal waters round us fa',
the merry birds are lovers a',
the scented breezes round us blaw,
a wandering wi' my davie.
meet me on, c.
as purple morning starts the hare,
to steal upon her early fare,
then thro' the dews i will repair,
to meet my faithfu' davie.
meet me on, c.
when day, expiring in the west,
the curtain draws o' nature's rest,
i flee to his arms i loe' the best,
and that's my ain dear davie.
