COULTER'S CANDY Allee ballee allee ballee bee Sittin' on your mammy's knee Greetin' for a wee bawbee Tae buy some Coulter's candy 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 Mammy, hand me my thrifty down Here's auld Coulter comin' round Wi' a basket on his crown Sellin' Coulter's candy 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 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. note: Several singers have claimed to have traced down the original Coulter, but, as their stories are contradictory, it appears that Coulter has been lost. In any case, it's usually pronounced "Coolter" as any good Scot would do.
