⟨They⟩ had but little mense, wi' crimes
To blast my Daintie Davie.
The rankest weeds the garden spoil,
⟨When⟩ Labour tak's the play a while,
The lamp gaes out for want o' oil,
And fae it far'd wi' Davie.

⟨There's⟩ ne'er a bar but what's complete,
While ilka note is aye sae sweet,
⟨That⟩ auld an' young get to their feet,
When they hear Daintie Davie.
⟨Until⟩ the latest hour of time,
When Music a' her power shall tine,
⟨Each⟩ hill an' dale, an' grove shall ring,
Wi' bonnie Daintie Davie.
