O Bessy Bell and Mary Gray,
They are twa bonie lasses,
They biggit a bower on yon burn brae
And theekit it o'er wi' rashes.

Fair Bessy Bell I loo'd yestreen,
And thought I ne'er could alter:
But Mary Gray's twa pawky een,
Soon gar my fancy falter.

Now Bessy's hair's like a lint-tap;
She smiles like a May morning.
When Phoebus starts frae Thetis' lap,
The hills with rays adorning:
White is her neck, saft is her hand,
Her waist and feet's fu' genty;
With ilka grace she can command;
Her lips, O wow! they're dainty.

And Mary's locks are like the craw,
Her een like diamond glances;
She's ay sae clean, red up and braw,
She kills whene'er she dances:

Blythe as a kid, with wit at will,
She blooming, tight, and tall is;
And guides her airs sae gracefu' still,
O Jove, she's like thy Pallas.
Dear Bessy Bell and Mary Gray,
Ye unco sair oppress us;
Our fancies jee between you twae,
Ye are sic bonie lasses:

Waes me! for baith I canna get,
To ane by law we're stinted;
Then I'll draw cuts, and tak' my fate,
And be with ane contented.
