Comin' Through the Rye

1. O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
   Jenny's seldom dry:
   She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
   Comin thro' the rye! 

   Chorus:
   Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
   Comin thro' the rye,
   She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
   Comin thro' the rye!


2. Gin a body meet a body
   Comin thro' the rye,
   Gin a body kiss a body,
   Need a body cry?

   Chorus: 

3. Gin a body meet a body
   Comin thro' the glen,
   Gin a body kiss a body,
   Need the warl' ken?

   Chorus:

4. Gin a body meet a body
   Comin thro' the grain;
   Gin a body kiss a body,
   The thing's a body's ain.

   Chorus:

5. Ev'ry Lassie has her laddie,
   Nane, they say, have I,
   Yet all the lads they smile on me,
   When comin' thro' the rye.

   Chorus:
