the belles of mauchline

    in mauchline there dwells six proper young belles,

    the pride of the place and its neighbourhood a';

    their carriage and dress, a stranger would guess,

    in lon'on or paris, they'd gotten it a'.

    miss miller is fine, miss markland's divine,

    miss smith she has wit, and miss betty is braw:

    there's beauty and fortune to get wi' miss morton,

    but armour's the jewel for me o' them a'.
