For this week's jukebox music theme, Trick or Treat, here is an old Scottish folk song, "Coulter's Candy". Written in the mid-1800's by Robert Coultart, it was an advertisement for his aniseed-flavoured sweets. The candy company is long gone, but the song has lived on as a folk song, often known by its first line, "Ally Bally Bee".
"Ally bally, ally bally bee,
Sittin' on yer mammy's knee,
Greetin' for a wee bawbee,
Tae buy mair Coulter's candy.
Mammy gie's ma thrifty doon,
Here's auld Coulter comin' roon',
Wi' a basket on his croon,
Selling Coulter's Candy."
