Coulter's Candy Lyrics
Ally bally bally bally be
Sittin' on yer mamy's knee
Greetin' for a wee baw bee
Tae buy some COULTER'S CANDY
Poor wee baim yer lookin' awfull thin,
A' yer jaw is aw drawn in
Could it be wi sookin'
Wi sooking the COULTER'S CANDY
I had a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nut meg
And a golden pear.
The Queen of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me
And all on account
Of my little nut tree
Ally bally bally bally be
Sittin' on yer mamy's knee
Greetin' for a wee baw bee
Tae buy some COULTER'S CANDY
GUITAR : see-F-see
(C)-F-G7
See-F-see

Sittin' on yer mamy's knee
Greetin' for a wee baw bee
Tae buy some COULTER'S CANDY
A' yer jaw is aw drawn in
Could it be wi sookin'
Wi sooking the COULTER'S CANDY
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nut meg
And a golden pear.
Came to visit me
And all on account
Of my little nut tree
Sittin' on yer mamy's knee
Greetin' for a wee baw bee
Tae buy some COULTER'S CANDY

Heard this first as a lullaby by The Corries. Donovan seems to have added the third and fourth verses,as these are from a nursery rhyme
