Cherish The Ladies - Betsy Belle And Mary Gray


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[Intro]
Am Em Am G Am G C
Am Em Am G Am Em Am

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


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


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


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


[Instrumental]
Am Em Am G Am G F C G
F C F C G (2x)


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


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


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


[Instrumental]
Am Em Am G Am G C
Am Em Am G Am Em Am


[Verse 5]
Em Am G
Oh, Betsy Belle and Mary Gray, they were two bonnie lassies
Am G C Em Am
They biggit a bower on yon Burnside and theeked it o'er with rushes
C D C D
But Betsy Belle nor Mary Gray could quell my fancy ever
C G Am G Am
The plague came from the burrows town, it slew them both together


[Outro] (fade to end)
Am Em Am G Am G F C G (4x)
