[VERSE 1]
Oh, Betsy Belle and [Em]Mary Gray, they [Am]were two bonnie [G]lasses
They [Am]biggit a bower on [G]yon Burnside and [C]theeked it [Em]o'er with [Am]rushes
Fair [C]Betsy Belle, I [D]loved so well and [C]thought I ne'er could [D]alter
But [C]Mary Gray's two [G]cheeky eyes, caused [Am]all my [G]fancy [D]falter

[CHORUS]
Oh, [Am]Betsy Belle and [Em]Mary Gray, they [Am]were two bonnie [G]lasses

[VERSE 2]
Betsy's hair's like [Em]flaxen gold, she [Am]smiles like a May [G]morning
When [Am]Phoebus starts from [G]Thoetus lap, the [C]hills with [Em]rays a[Am]dorning
White [C]is her hair, soft [D]is her hand, her [C]waist and feet flow [D]gently
With [C]every grace she [G]can command, her [Am]lips, I [G]vow, are [D]dainty

[CHORUS]
Oh, [Am]Betsy Belle and [Em]Mary Gray, they [Am]were two bonnie [G]lasses
They [Am]biggit a bower on [G]yon Burnside and [C]theeked it [Em]o'er with [Am]rushes

[VERSE 3]
[Am]Mary's locks are [Em]like the crow, her [Am]eyes like diamond's, [G]glances
She's [Am]aye so clean, red [G]up and raw, she [C]kills when [Em]e'er she [Am]dances
Blithe [C]as a kid with [D]wit and will, she's [C]blooming, tight and [D]tall is
And [C]guides her airs so [G]graceful still, oh [Am]Jove, she's [G]like thy [D]palace

[CHORUS]
Oh, [Am]Betsy Belle and [Em]Mary Gray, they [Am]were two bonnie [G]lasses
They [Am]biggit a bower on [G]yon Burnside and [C]theeked it [Em]o'er with [Am]rushes

[VERSE 4]
Young Betsy Belle and [Em]Mary Gray, ye [Am]unco saer op[G]press us
Our [Am]fancies fee be[G]tween ye two, ye [C]are such [Em]bonnie [Am]lassies
Woe's [C]me, for both I [D]cannot get, to [C]one by law we're [D]stinted
Then [C]I'll draw straws and [G]take my fate and [Am]be with [G]one con[D]tented

Oh, Betsy Belle and [Em]Mary Gray, they [Am]were two bonnie [G]lassies
They [Am]biggit a bower on [G]yon Burnside and [C]theeked it [Em]o'er with [Am]rushes
But [C]Betsy Belle nor [D]Mary Gray could [C]quell my fancy [D]ever
The [C]plague came from the [G]burrows town, it [Am]slew them [G]both to[Am]gether
