201A: Bessy Bell and Mary Gray

201A.1 O BESSIE BELL and Mary Gray,

They war twa bonnie lasses;

They bigget a bower on yon burn-brae,

And theekit it oer wi rashes. 201A.2 They theekit it oer wi rashes green,

They theekit it oer wi heather;

But the pest cam frae the burrows-town,

And slew them baith thegither. 201A.3 They thought to lye in Methven kirk-yard,

Amang their noble kin;

But they maun lye in Stronach haugh,

To biek forenent the sin. 201A.4 And Bessy Bell and Mary Gray,

They war twa bonnie lasses;

They biggit a bower on yon burn-brae,

And theekit it oer wi rashes.
