Comin Thro‘ The Rye

Musik: Aurelio | Text (schottisch): Robert Burns († 1796)

O, Jenny’s a‘ weet poor body
Jenny’s seldom dry
She draigl’t a‘ her petticoatie
Comin thro‘ the rye

Refrain:
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?

Refrain

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro‘ the glen
Gin a body kiss a body
Need the warld ken?

Refrain

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro‘ the grain
Gin a body kiss a body
The thing’s a body’s ain

Refrain

Ev’ry lassie has her laddie
Nane they say have I
Yet a‘ the lads they smile at me
When comin thro‘ the rye
