Comin thro' the rye

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!

Gin a body meet a body

Comin thro' the rye,

Gin a body kiss a body,

Need a body cry?

(chorus)

Gin a body meet a body

Comin thro' the glen

Gin a body kiss a body,

Need the warl' ken?

(chorus)

Gin a body meet a body

Comin thro' the grain;

Gin a body kiss a body,

The thing's a body's ain.

(chorus)
