Coulters Candy (Irish + Scottish)

Chorus:
Ally Bally, Ally Bally Me,
Sitting on your Mommy's knee
Waiting for your wee penny
To buy some Coulters Candy

Verse 1:
Hurry Huey's looking very thin.
A wee pile of bones covered over with skin.
Soon he'll be getting a wee double chin.
From suckin' Coulter's Candy.

Chorus

Verse 2:
There's no money for the poor wee soul.
Your daddy's signing on the dole.
But a penny's hidden in the sugar bowl.
To buy some Coulter's Candy.

Chorus

Verse 3:
Come, wee Huey, me bonnie wee man,
Sleep so sound when your playing's done,
When you rise with the morning sun,
You'll get some Coulter's Candy.
