Davy Faa lyrics

PLAY UNKNOWN Davy Faa video Davy Faa

There was a wealthy farmer lived in the north country
He had a lovely dochter, she was always frank and free
And day by day and night by night she was always in my e`e

There was a jolly tinker lad cam` tae this farm hoose
`Have ye any pots or pans or candlesticks to mend
Or have ye any lodgin`s for me, a single man?`

Weel, the farmer he thocht it nae harm the tinker for tae keep
The lassie she thocht it nae harm the tinker`s bed tae mak`
But the tinker followed after her and he did bar the door

He`s catched her by the middle sma` and laid her on the floor
He`s catched her by the middle sma` and up against the door
Twas there he took the wills o` her afore she was won awa`

And it`s oh the bonnie lassie blushed, oh but she thocht shame
`Since ye`ve ta`en the wills o` me, come tell tae me your name`
He whispered in the lassie`s ear, `They ca` me Davy Faa
And ye`ll mind upon the happy nicht amang the bales o` straw`

Six weeks had passed and gone, this maid grew white and pale
Nine months and summer brocht her forth a bonnie son
`And since the baby`s born,` said she, `I`ll ca` him Davy Faa
And we`ll mind upon the happy nicht among the bales o` straw`

`For it`s any man that weds my girl, it`s he`ll get lands quite free
For any man that weds my girl, he will get gowd quite free
For although she`s lost her maidenhead, oh what`s the waur is she?`
