MALLY'S MEEK, MALLY'S SWEET
Chorus
Mally's meek, Mally's sweet,
Mally's modest and discreet,
Mally's rare, Mally's fair,
Mally's ev'ry way complete.
I
As I was walking up the street,
A barefit maid I chanc'd to meet;
But O, the road was very hard
For that fair maiden's tender feet!
II
It were mair meet that those fine feet
Were weel laced up in silken shoon!
An' 'twere more fit that she should sit
Within yon chariot gilt aboon!
Chorus
Mally's meek, Mally's sweet,
Mally's modest and discreet,
Mally's rare, Mally's fair,
Mally's ev'ry way complete.
