Down the Burn, Davy, Love.When trees did bud, and fields were green,And broom bloom’d fair to see;When Mary was complete fifteen,And love laugh’d in her e’e,—Blithe Davy’s blinks her heart did moveTo speak her mind thus free,“Gang down the burn, Davy, love,And I will follow thee.”Now Davy did each lad surpassThat dwelt on this burn side,And Mary was the bonniest lass,Just meet to be a bride.Blithe Davy’s blinks her heart did moveTo speak her mind thus free,“Gang down the burn, Davy, love,And I will follow thee.”Her cheeks were rosy, red, and white,Her een was bonny blue,Her locks were like Aurora bright,Her lips like dropping dew.Blithe Davy’s blinks her heart did moveTo speak her mind thus free,“Gang down the burn, Davy, love,And I will follow thee.”As fate had dealt to him a routh,Straight to the kirk he led her;There plight’d her his faith and truth,And a bonny bride he made her;No more asham’d to own her love,Or speak her mind thus free,“Gang down the burn, Davy, love,And I will follow thee.”
