Bessy Bell and Mary Gray (3) 
O, Bessy Bell and Mary Gray 
They were twa bonny lasses, 
They bigg'd a bower on yon Burn-brae 
And theek'd it o'er wi' rashes. Fair Bessy Bell I lov'd yestreen And thought I ne'er cou'd alter But Mary Gray's twa pawky een They gar my fancy falter. 
From Orpheus Caledonius
