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