To Daunton Me

The blude-red rose at Yulemay blaw,
The simmerlilies bloom in snaw,
The frost may freeze the deepest sea;
But an auld man shall never daunton me.
Refrain.-To daunton me, to daunton me,
And auld man shall never daunton me.

To daunton me, and me saeyoung,
Wi’ his fauseheart and flatt’ring tongue,
That is the thing you shall never see,
For an auld man shall never daunton me.
To daunton me, &c.

For a’ his meal and a’ his maut,
For a’ his fresh beef and his saut,
For a’his gold and white monie,
And auld men shall never daunton me.
To daunton me, &c.

His gear may buy him kyeand yowes,
His gearmay buy him glens and knowes;
Butme he shall not buy nor fee,
For anauld man shall never daunton me.
To daunton me, &c.

He hirples twafauldas he dow,
Wi’his teethless gaband his auld beldpow,
And the rain rains down fraehis redblear’d e’e;
That auldman shall never daunton me.
To dauntonme, &c.
