Coulter's Candy Lyrics

I Allee ballee allee ballee bee Sittin' on your mammy's knee Greetin' for a wee bawbee Tae buy some Coulter's candy II Poor wee soul, you're lookin' very thin A puckle of bones covered o'er wi' skin Now you're gettin' a wee double chin Frae eatin' Coulter's candy III Mammy, hand me my thrifty down Here's auld Coulter comin' round Wi' a basket on his crown Sellin' Coulter's candy IV Allee ballee allee ballee bee When you grow up, you'll go tae sea Makin' pennies for your mammy and me Tae buy some Coulter's candy V Oor wee Jennie's greetin' tae Sae whit can puir auld mammie dae But gie 'em a penny atween them twae Tae buy some Coulter's candy.
