Coming through the rye

Chorus.

O Jenny is all wet, poor body,

Jenny is seldom dry:

She draggled all her petticoats,

Coming through the rye!

Coming through the rye, poor body,

Coming through the rye,

She draggled all her petticoats,

Coming through the rye!

Should a body meet a body

Coming through the rye,

Should a body kiss a body,

Need a body cry?

Should a body meet a body

Coming through the glen,

Should a body kiss a body,

Need the world know?

Should a body meet a body

Coming through the grain,

Should a body kiss a body,

The thing is a body's own.
