Mary Hamilton
FameRank: 5

""Mary Hamilton"" or ""The Fower Maries"" are common names for a well-known sixteenth-century ballad from Scotland based on an apparently fictional incident about a lady-in-waiting to a Queen of Scotland or, possibly, to Catherine I of Russia. It is Child Ballads/Child Ballad 173 and Roud Folk Song Index/Roud 79.

In all versions of the song, Mary Hamilton is a lady-in-waiting/personal attendant to the Queen of Scots, but precisely which queen is not specified. She becomes pregnant by the Queen's husband, the King of Scots, which results in the birth of a baby. Mary kills the infant – in some versions by casting it out to sea or drowning, and in others by Hypothermia/exposure. The crime is seen and she is convicted. The ballad recounts Mary's thoughts about her life and her impending death in a first-person narrative.

In fact, she told me she doesn't always agree with what they do.

One memory that just really stood out in my mind was our first home basketball game. She had some time before the game started. Each one of the girls came up to her, and she asked them how they wanted their hair done. They sat in front of her and she did their hair in blue and yellow ribbons.

I think we really need to focus on the water and sewer bills, instead of trying to talk about everything at once.

I was totally in shock. I thought the deadline had passed.

I have always worked at getting someone else the teacher of the year.
