Scottish Lyrics
Ally, bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' oan yer mammy's knee,
Greetin' for anither bawbee,
Tae buy mair Coulter's candy.

Mammy gie me ma thrifty doon,
Here's auld Coulter comin' roon,
Wi' a basket on his croon,
Sellin' Coulter's Candy.

Ally, bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on yer mammy's knee,
Greetin' for anither bawbee,
Tae buy mair 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.

Ally, bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on yer mammy's knee,
Greetin' for anither bawbee,
Tae buy mair Coulter's candy.
