Coming Through The Rye

Coming through the rye, poor body  coming through the rye.

She draigl't a' her petticoat coming through the rye.

Jenny is a wet poor body  Jenny is seldom dry,

She draigl't a' her petticoat  coming through the rye.

Gin a body meet a body coming through the rye.

Gin a body kiss a body, need a body cry;

Jenny is a wet poor body  Jenny is seldom dry,

She draigl't a' her petticoat  coming through the rye.

Gin a body meet a body coming through the glen;

Gin a body kiss a body need the world ken!

Jenny is a wet poor body  Jenny is seldom dry,

She draigl't a' her petticoat  coming through the rye.

 

Gin a body meet a body, coming through the rye.

Gin a body kiss a body, need a body cry;

Ilka body has a body, never a ane hae I;

But at the lads they love me, and what the waur am I.

Gin a body meet a body, coming frae the well,

Gin a body kiss a body, need a body tell;

Ilka body has a body, never a ane hae I,

But at the lads they love me, and what the waur am I.

Gin a body meet a body, coming frae the town,

Gin a body kiss a body, need a body gloom;

Ilka Jenny has her Jockey, never a ane hae I,

But at the lads they love me, and what the waur am I.
