The recording was made at the St Andrews Folk Club in the Star Hotel in 1964 when the singers from the Aberdeen Folk Club were the guests. 

1: A bonnie lass was milkin her faither's kye
A gentleman on horseback cam ridin by
A gentleman on horseback cam ridin by,
He’s the Laird o the Dainty Doonby.

2: “Hey bonnie lass an fit what wad ye dee
Gin I wis tae spend a nicht wi ye?”
“A nicht wi me that never will be
Though ye're Laird o the Dainty Doonby.”

3: But he’s keppit her by the middle sae sma,
And intae the lang grass he’s placed her doon
’Twas a lang, lang time e’er he let her up again,
The Laird o the Dainty Doonby.

4: Ae bonnie morn, and it was a bonnie day,
Her father for in some money had to pay,
Her father for in some money had to pay
Tae the Laird o the Dainty Doonby.

5: “Mornin”, says he, “And hoo dae ye do?
And hoo’s yer dochter Janet the noo?
And hoo's yer dochter Janet the noo?”
Says the Laird o the Dainty Doonby.

6: “Ma dochter Janet, she is no verra weel,
My dochter Janet she soors at her kail.
My dochter Janet she gey-like pale
Since ye laid her in the Dainty Doonby.”

7: Weel, he’s taen her be the lily-fite hand,
He showed her the rooms and there wis twenty-one.
He’s putten the keys oot intae her hand,
“Noo ye're Lady o the Dainty Doonby.”

8: “O,” says the auld man, “fit’ll I dae?”
“O,” says the auld wife, “I’ll dance till I dee.”
“Weel,” says the auld man, “I think I'll dae that tae
Since she's Lady o the Dainty Doonby.”

The song is in the second edition of David Herd - Scottish Songs and Ballads of 1776  (Vol II p231) under the title The Dainty Downby in 12 stanzas. (Roud 864).
