Big Tim Origins: Coulter's Candy (53* d) RE: lyr/Origins: Coulter's Candy (Caulter's ?) 23 Jul 09


Ewan MacVicar devotes 9 pages to this song in his book 'Doh Ray Me, When Ah Wis Wee: Scots children's song and rhymes' (Birlinn, 2007).

Here comes Coulter doon the street,
A big lum hat upon his heid,
He's been roon aboot aa the toon,
Singin and sellin candy. !

PS I wonder if Coulter was of the same family as David Coulthard, the F1 driver: similar name, Borders area?
