Comin' Thro the Rye
(Robert Burns)

O, Jenney's a'weet poor body,
   Jenny's seldom dry;
She draigl't a' her petticoattie
   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 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 warld ken?

Tune: Miller's Wedding (560)
