“Comin’ through the rye”

Adapted   GIN a body meet a body     Comin’ through the rye,   Gin a body kiss a body,     Need a body cry?   Every lassie has her laddie,—     Ne’er a ane hae I;   Yet a’ the lads they smile at me     When comin’ through the rye. Amang the train there is a swain   I dearly lo’e mysel’; But whaur his hame, or what his name,   I dinna care to tell.   Gin a body meet a body     Comin’ frae the town,   Gin a body greet a body,     Need a body frown?   Every lassie has her laddie,—     Ne’er a ane hae I;   Yet a’ the lads they smile at me     When comin’ through the rye. Amang the train there is a swain   I dearly lo’e mysel’; But whaur his hame, or what his name,   I dinna care to tell.
