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.
