Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin a body meet a body
Need a body cry.
Oh Jenny 's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny 's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye.
Comin thro' the rye.
Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body cry.
Every lassie has a laddie,
Name,they say,ha'e I(have I).
Yeah,all the lads they smile on me,
When comin thro' the rye.
Thro' the rye.
Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
Oh Jenny 's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny 's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie
Comin thro' the rye!
Thro' the rye.
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!
