• 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,...

  • O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,

    Jenny's seldom dry:

    She draigl't 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 a body meet a body
