Alley bally, alley bally bee Sitting on your mammy's knee
Waiting for a wee bobby To buy some coulter's candy
Poor wee Jenny's looking awfully thin A wrinkle of bones covered her wee skin
Knew she's getting a wee double chin For eating coulter's candy
Alley bally, alley bally bee Sitting on your mammy's knee
Waiting for a wee bobby To buy some coulter's candy
Little Anne is greeting Tessie Whip can poor wee mammy
But gie them a penny, a tween them tway To buy me a coulter's candy
Alley bally, alley bally bee Sitting on your mammy's knee
Waiting for a wee bobby To buy some coulter's candy
Here's all coulter coming roon A wee a basket on her knee
On his croon Gathering all the bairns aroond
Selling coulter's candy
Alley bally, alley bally bee Sitting on your mammy's knee
Waiting for a wee bobby To buy some coulter's candy
Alley bally, alley bally bee Sitting on your mammy's knee
Waiting for a wee bobby To buy some coulter's candy
Alley bally, alley bally bee Sitting on your mammy's knee
Waiting for a wee bobby To buy some coulter's candy
Alley bally bee
