to daunton me

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.

refrain.—to daunton me, to daunton me,

and auld man shall never daunton me.

to daunton me, and me sae young,

wi' his fause heart 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,
