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.

  Meet me on, &c.
