Comin' thro' the Rye - Robert Burns

Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie
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.

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!

Oh Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie
Comin thro' the rye.
