176, Bessie Bell and Mary Gray |

|
O
BESSIE BELL and Mary Gray, They war twa bonnie lasses; They biggit a bower on yon burn-brae, And theekit it o'er wi' rashes.
n
They theekit it o'er wi' rashes green, They theekit it o'er wi' heather;
But the pest cam frae the burrows-town, And slew them baith thegither.
in
They thought to lye in Methven kirkyard,
Amang their noble kin ; But they maun lye in Stronach haugh,
To biek forenent the sin. |
