The blude-red rose at Yule may blaw, / The simmer lilies bloom in snaw, / The frost may freeze the deepest sea; / But an auld man shall never daunton me. / Refrain. -To daunton me, to daunton me, / And auld man shall never daunton me.
To daunton me, and me sae young, / Wi' his fause heart and flatt'ring tongue, / That is the thing you shall never see, / For an auld man shall never daunton me. / To daunton me, &c.
For a' his meal and a' his maut, / For a' his fresh beef and his saut, / For a' his gold and white monie, / And auld men shall never daunton me. / To daunton me, &c.
His gear may buy him kye and yowes, / His gear may buy him glens and knowes; / But me he shall not buy nor fee, / For an auld man shall never daunton me. / To daunton me, &c.
He hirples twa fauld as he dow, / Wi' his teethless gab and his auld beld pow, / And the rain rains down frae his red blear'd e'e; / That auld man shall never daunton me. / To daunton me, &c.
