Stranica 179 [179]
BESSY BELL AND MARY GRAY. 173
They were two bonny lasses,
They built a house upon the lea,
And covered it o’er with rashes.
Bessy kept the garden gate,
And Mary kept the pantry;
Bessy always had to wait,
While Mary lived in plenty.
Little boy, pretty boy, where were you born?
In Lincolnshire, master; come, blow the cow's horn.
