The Belles of Mauchline – Song – {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 Millar is fine, Miss Murkland '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'.---
