The Fureys - Dainty Davy - With lyrics
A timeless classic I used to hear my father playing when I was a wee nipper.
I haven't found this version anywhere on Youtube or online.
Lyrics as followed:
Beyond the town there lived a maid
And she was the keeper of her trade,
She fell in love with a lodger gay
And his name was Dainty Davy.
Leeze me on your curly brow,
Dainty Davy, Dainty Davy,
Leeze me on your curly pow,
You are my Dainty Davy.
"My love, my love, my love", cried he,
"I have the longing for the sea,
I'll go defend my country,
Say farewell to Dainty Davy!"
Leeze me on your curly brow,
Dainty Davy, Dainty Davy,
Leeze me on your curly pow,
You're my Dainty Davy.
Three days and seven years were gone
When she saw this figure come striding on.
She knew it was her own true one,
"Come kiss me, Dainty Davy!"
Leeze me on your curly brow,
Dainty Davy, Dainty Davy,
Leeze me on your curly pow,
You're my Dainty Davy.
