robinia Lyr Req: To Daunton Me / To Dawt on Me (R Burns) (20) RE: Help: To daunton me 31 Jul 02


Yes, and I learned the song from MacColl's recording, which doesn't, however, include this final verse. But he does include, on the same record, "What can a young lassie" (what shall a young lassie, what can a young lassie do wi' an auld man?) -- a song with some marvelously descriptive verses too, like "He's always compleenin' frae mornin' to eenin'/ He hoasts and he hirples the weary day lang/ He's doyl't and he's dozin' ; his blood it is frozen/ O dreary's the nicht wi' a crazy auld man." And look this other song up for a humdinger of a final verse too (it's in the spirit -- and the storyline -- of Chaucer's Wife of Bath...)
