GUEST,Dave Rado	Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow? (230* d)	RE: Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow?	25 Jan 12
One other thing - I have always heard the chorus sung as it is in the extremely bawdy version Burns probably collected, i.e. I've always heard "Bonnie Davie, Dainty Davie" and not "Dainty Davie, dainty Davie" as published on DT. "Bonnie Davie, Dainty Davie" also scans much better, IMO. It's also a bit strange to me that DT lists the Burns version first, and the traditional version as "Dainty Davie (2)", given that the traditional version is the one that is mostly sung today.
