To Daunton Me

To Daunton Me - Ewan MacColl

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

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

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

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

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

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
