430. Song—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.
