In yonder town there lived a maid
And she was mistress of her trade
She fell in love with a roving blade
And his name was Dainty Davie
So leeze me on thy curly pow
Bonnie Davie, Dainty Davie
Leeze me on thy curly pow
My ain dear Dainty Davie
Being chased by some dragoons
Within my bed he was laid doon
I trow he was well worth his room
My aim dear Dainty Davie
So leeze me on thy curly pow
Bonnie Davie, Dainty Davie
Leeze me on thy curly pow
My ain dear Dainty Davie
My nonnie laid him at my back
I trow he laid na lang at that
But he turned and in a verra crack
He produced a Dainty Davie
So leeze me on thy curly pow
Bonnie Davie, Dainty Davie
Leeze me on thy curly pow
My ain dear Dainty Davie
In the fields amongst the pease
And among the cherry trees
T’was there he kissed me as he pleased
My ain dear Dainty Davie
So leeze me on thy curly pow
Bonnie Davie, Dainty Davie
Leeze me on thy curly pow
My ain dear Dainty Davie
