NOW ROSY MAY
Chorus
Meet me on the Warlock Knowe,Dainty Davie, Dainty Davie!
There I'll spend the day wi' you,
My ain dear Dainty Davie.
I
Now rosy May comes in wi' flowersTo deck her gay, green-spreading bowers;
And now comes in the happy hours
To wander wi' my Davie.
II
The crystal waters round us fa',The merry birds are lovers a',
The scented breezes round us blaw,
A wandering wi' my Davie.
III
When purple morning starts the hareTo steal upon her early fare,
Then thro' the dews I will repair
To meet my faithfu' Davie.
246
IV
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!
Chorus
Meet me on the Warlock Knowe,Dainty Davie, Dainty Davie!
There I'll spend the day wi' you,
My ain dear Dainty Davie.
