As Malley Leigh cam' doon the street Her capuchin did flee She cast a look behind her back Tae see her negligee Chorus: And we're a' gaun east and west And we're a' gaun aye a jee And we're a' gaun east and west A coortin' Malley Leigh She had twa lappets at her heid That flaunted gallantly And ribbon knots and back and breist O' bonnie Malley Leigh Chorus As doon alang the Canongate Were beaux o' ilk degree And monie an ane turned roond aboot The comely sicht tae see Chorus The lass gaed through the palace ha' And nane sae braw as she A prince speired leave tae dance wi' her And earlies twa and three Chorus But heilan' Brodie fleered them a' Wi' proud and glancin' e'e He's won for aye the heart and haun O' bonnie Malley Leigh Chorus
