Comin' Thro' The Rye

O, Jenny’s a' weet,[A] poor body,
Jenny’s seldom dry:
She draigl’t[B] 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[C] 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'[D] ken?[E]

(chorus)

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the grain;
Gin a body kiss a body,
The thing’s a body’s ain.[F]

(chorus)

Ilka lassie has her laddie,
Nane, they say, ha’e I
Yet all the lads they smile on me,
When comin' thro' the rye.
