Lyrics - Dainty Davie by Burns Robert

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 tothe same tune.
Tune:
Dainty
Davie (140)filename[
