Betsy Bell and Mary Gray - Steeleye Span

Taken from the 1989 album Tempted and Tried. A very haunting Scottish ballad which features some brilliant musicianship from Peter Knight.

There's another version of this song by Steeleye that they sang a capella. It's stronger than this verion IMHO

One of their best albums, but I have to say it's not their best song, though I love Pete Knight's solos.

Can anybody tell me what the song is about?

According to the sleevenotes from the album, Betsy Bell and Mary Gray were tow women who fled to the Scottish Highlands to escape the plague, but they managed to catch it off a young man who was bringing them food.

Excellent, but I like Martin Carthy's solo version better.
