James Hogg

Black Mary

Mary is my only joy,
Mary is blithe, and Mary is coy,
Mary's the goud where there's nae alloy--
Though Black, yet O she's bonny.
Her breath is the birken bower o' spring,
Her lips the young rose opening,
An' her hair is the hue o' the raven's wing,
She's Black, but O she's bonny!

In other Gow family publications the tune is called Melvil House<div class="mw-ext-score" data-midi="/w/images/lilypond/j/1/j14edpz4rhv4wdsrugby9t00jhfphfa/j14edpz4.midi"><img src="/w/images/lilypond/j/1/j14edpz4rhv4wdsrugby9t00jhfphfa/j14edpz4.png" width="372" height="52" alt=" X:1 M:C L:1/8 K:C c4 c4|c2 BA G4|f4 e2d2|e2g2 a4| "/></div>
