Coulters Candy

by Robert Coltart 1832-80

Ally, bally, ally bally bee, 

Sittin' on yer mammy's knee 

Greetin' for anither bawbee, 

Tae buy mair Coulter's Candy.

Ally. bally, ally, bally bee, 

When you grow up you'll gae tae sea, 

Makin' pennies for your daddy and me, 

Tae buy mair Coulter's Candy.

Mammy gie me ma thrifty doon, 

Here's auld Coulter comin' roon' 

Wi' a basket on his croon 

Selling Coulter's Candy.

Little Annie's greetin' tae, 

Sae whit can puir wee Mammy dae, 

But gie them a penny atween them twae 

Tae buy mair Coulter's Candy.

Poor wee Jeannie's lookin' affa' thin, 

A rickle o' banes covered ower wi' skin, 

Noo she's gettin' a double chin 

Wi' sookin' Coulter's Candy.
