To Daunton Me
[Verse 1]
The blude-red rose at Yule may blaw
The simmer lilies bloom in snaw
The frost may freeze the deepest sea
But an auld man shall never daunton me
[Chorus]
To daunton me, and me sae young
Wi his fause heart and flatt'ring tongue
That is the thing you ne'er shall see
For an auld man shall never daunton me
[Verse 2]
For a' his meal and a' his maut
For a' his fresh beef and his saut
For a' his gold and white monie
An auld man shall never daunton me
[Chorus]
To daunton me, and me sae young
Wi his fause heart and flatt'ring tongue
That is the thing you nе'er shall see
For an auld man shall never daunton mе
[Verse 3]
His gear may buy him kye and yowes
His gear may buy him glens and knowes;
But me he shall not buy nor fee
For an auld man shall never daunton me
[Chorus]
To daunton me, and me sae young
Wi his fause heart and flatt'ring tongue
That is the thing you ne'er shall see
For an auld man shall never daunton me
