Scottish Folk Tune

Ally Bally, Ally Bally Bee
Sittin’ on your mama’s knee
Waitin’ for a wee penny
To buy some Coulter’s candy.

Don’t you cry, my little baby
You know your daddy’s gone to sea
Earnin’ pennies for you and me
To buy some Coulter’s candy.

Here is Coulter, he’s comin’ round
A great big hat upon his crown.
He’s been all about the town
A-singin’ and sellin’ candy.

[10] The Woodpecker
Jane Singhal

Woodpecker taps at the old oak tree.
Rat-a-tat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-a-tat-a.
“Have you any insects for my afternoon tea?”
Rat-a-tat-a-tat, rat-a-tat-a-tat-a.
