Poems and Songs of R 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.

meet me on, &c.
