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 every way complete.

　　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.

　　mally's meek, c.

　　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,

　　mally's meek, c.

　　her yellow hair, beyond compare,

　　comes trinklin down her swan-like neck,

　　and her two eyes, like stars in skies,

　　would keep a sinking ship frae wreck,

　　mally's meek, c.
