Lyrics of 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.

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.

As 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.
