BESSY BELL AND MARY GRAY by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: WHILE MARY LIVED IN PLENTY
BESSY Bell and Mary Gray,
They were two bonnie lasses;
They built their house upon the lea,
And covered it with rushes.

Bessy kept the garden gate,
And Mary kept the pantry;
Bessy always had to wait,
While Mary lived in plenty.
