Song: Betsy Belle And Mary Gray

Betsy Belle And Mary Gray -Cherish The Ladies
Oh Betsy Belle and Mary Gray
They were two bonnie lasses
They biggit a bower on yon Burnside
And theeked it o'er with rashes
Fair Betsy Belle
I loved so well and thought
I ne'er could alter
But Mary Gray's two cheeky eyes caused
All my fancy falter
Oh Betsy Belle and Mary Gray
They were two bonnie lasses
They biggit a bower on yon Burnside
And theeked it o'er with rashes
Betsy's hair's like flaxen gold
She smiles like a May morning
When Phoebus starts from Thoetus lap
The hills with rays adorning
White is her hair soft is her hand
Her waist and feet flow gently
With every grace she can command
Her lips I vow are dainty
Oh Betsy Belle and Mary Gray
They were two bonnie lasses
They biggit a bower on yon Burnside
And theeked it o'er with rashes
Mary's locks are like the crow
Her eyes like diamond's glances
She's aye so clean red up and raw
She kills whene'er she dances
Blithe as a kid with wit and will
She's blooming tight and tall is
And guides her airs so graceful still
Oh Jove she's like thy palace
Oh Betsy Belle and Mary Gray
They were two bonnie lasses
They biggit a bower on yon Burnside
And theeked it o'er with rashes
Young Betsy Belle and Mary Gray
Ye unco saer oppress us
Our fancies fee between ye two
Ye are such bonnie lassies
Woe's me for both I cannot get
To one by law we're stinted
Then I'll draw straws and take my fate
And be with one contented
Oh Betsy Belle and Mary Gray
They were two bonnie lassies
They biggit a bower on yon Burnside
And theeked it o'er with rashes
But Betsy Belle nor Mary Gray could quell
My fancy ever
The plague came from the burrows town
It slew them both together
