Subject: RE: MUS ADD: Coulter's candy From: Metchosin Date: 21 Jan 01 - 03:49 PM John, if you type Coulter's in the digitrad lyrics search box on the fourm page you will come up with two versions with all the lyrics. We were taught this song by my Grandmother, but perhaps she came to Canada before the Coulter's version came into being, because there is no reference to the brand name in her song. In place of "Coulter's candy" we just sing "sugar candy". Also, she sang Owa Dowa, Owa Dowa Dee in place of Ally Bally Bee. |

Subject: Lyr Add: COULTER'S CANDY (plainer English version) From: BK Date: 13 Oct 99 - 09:36 PM I got a message requesting the plainer language version of "Coulter's Candy" I'd mentioned in a past thread. Then was told about putting line break commands... Sooooo, I stuck line breaks (I think that's what they are called; know NOTHING about HTML) on the ends of the lines & spaces of the words on my hard drive WP file, copied the whole schmear to the clipboard, & I'll paste them here. Hope it works... Cheers, BK (hope it doesn't have a million little "br's" in it. I think it came from an album by the "Kerries?"

Ally bally, ally bally bee, Sitting on my grannies knee, begging for a wee baw'bee, tae by some Coulter's candy. A baw'bee was a halfpenny, and the song is Scottish. I don't know the rest of the lyrics, but if anybody knows them,I would be grateful. |
