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.
