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 swanlike neck,
    and her two eyes, like stars in skies,
    would keep a sinking ship frae wreck,
    mally's meek, c.
