Sittin' on your mammy's knee

Ally, bally, ally bally bee
When you grow up you'll gae to sea
Makin' pennies for your daddy and me
Tae buy mair Coulter's Candy.

Mammy gae 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 o'er wi' skin,
Noo she's gettin' a double chin,
Wi' sdookin' Coulter's Candy.
