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." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXVno6lqcBc #JukeboxFridayNight #TricksOrTreats
