I only know the version by Archie Fisher - he sings it under the name Mally Lee. Apparently its an old Edinburgh song about Mrs Mally Sleigh who married Lord Lyon Brodie of Brodie in 1725 or theierabouts. These words are more or less Archies with a few alterations Ive picked up on the way.
When Mally Lee cam doon the street,her Capuchin did flee
She coost a look behind her, to see her negligee
And were all going east and west, were a going aye agee
Were all going east and west, a-coorting Mally Lee
All along the Canongate were beaux of ilk degree
And mony an ane turned roond tae look at boony Mally Lee
From Seatons Land a countess fair looked ower a window hie
And pined to see the gently shape of bonny Mally Lee
The dance gaed through the palace hall, a comely sight to see
But nane was there sae bricht and braw as bonny Mally Lee
The prince cam oot frae mang them all, wi garter at his knee
And danced a stately minuet wi bonny Mally Lee
Hope this helps,
cheers
John
