Ally bally bally bally be,
Sitting on your mammy's knee
Greeting for a wee bawbee
Tae buy some Coulter's candy.
Poor wee baim, yer looking awful thin,
A' yer jaw is aw drawn in,
Could it be wi sooking,
Wi sooking the Coulter's candy.
Ally bally bally bally be,
Sitting on your mammy's knee
Greeting for a wee bawbee
Tae buy some Coulter's candy.
I had a little nut tree, nothing it would bear,
But a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.
The Queen of Spain's daughter came to visit me
And all on account of my little nut tree
