<blockquote>
''Bonnie Bessie Lee had a face fu’ o’ smiles,'' <br>
''And mirth round her ripe lip was aye dancing slee;'<br>' 
''And light was the footfa’, and winsome the wiles,''<br> 
''O’ the flower o’ the parochin—our ain Bessie Lee.''
</blockquote>
As a song, it was very popular in Victorian times, and appears in Gavin Greig's '''Scots Minstrelsie''' (vol. 5)
