coming thro' the rye

o, jenny's a' weet, poor body,
jenny's seldom dry:
she draigl't a' her petticoatie,
comin thro' the rye!

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?

gin a body meet a body
comin thro' the glen,
gin a body kiss a body,
need the warl' ken?

gin a body meet a body
comin thro' the grain;
gin a body kiss a body,
the thing's a body's ain.
