Dainty Davie
(Robert Burns)
Meet me on the Warlock Knowe,
Dainty Davie, Dainty Davie!
There I`ll spend the day wi` you,
My ain dear 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.
The crystal waters round us fa`
The merry birds are lovers a`,
The scented breezes round us blaw
A wandering wi my Davie.
When purple morning starts the hare
To steal upon her early fare,
Then thro the dews I will repair
To meet my faithfu` Davie.
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!
This song is closely aligned with
There Was A Lad that is sung to
the same tune.
Tune:Dainty Davie (140)
