Bessie Bell and Mary Gray

Bessie Bell and Mary Gray
They were two bonny lasses,
They biggit a bow'r on the banks of the river,
And theekit it over with rashes, O!
They theekit it over with rashes green,
They theekit it over with heather;
The plague came into the river bank,
And slew them both together.
