O Mallys Meek Lyrics - Burns Robert

O, Mally's Meek 

(Robert Burns) 

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! 

CHORUS 

Mally's meek, Mally's sweet, 

Mally's modest and discreet, 

Mally's rare, Mally's fair 

Mally's ev'ry way complete. 

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! 

Her yellow hair, beyond compare, 

Comes tumbling down her swan-like neck, 

And her twa eyes, like stars in skies, 

Would keep a sinking ship frae wreck! 

tune: O Mally's meek, Mally's sweet (226)
