Beffy Bell and Mary Gray.
Bejfy Bell and Mary Gray,
They are twa bonny Lafles,
They bigg d a Bower on yon Burn-brae,
And theck'd it o'er wi' rafhes.
Fair BeJJy Bell I loo'd yeftreen,
And thought I ne'er cou'd alter 5
But Mary Gray's twa pawky Een,
They gar my Fancy falter.
Now BeJJy's Hair's like a Lint-tap ;
She fmiles like a May Morning,
When Thosbus ftarts frae Thetis' Lap,
The Hills with Rays adorning :
White is her Neck, faft is her Hand^
Her Wafte and Feet's fu' genty 5
With ilka Grace {he can command 1
Her Lips, O wow ! they're dainty.
And Mary's Locks are like the CraWy
Her Een like Diamonds glances j
She's ay fae clean, redd up and braw.
She kills whene'er fhe dances :
