Comin Thro' The Rye

Robert Burns

            O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
                 Jenny's seldom dry:
            She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
                 Comin thro' the rye!
            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 warl' ken?
                Gin a body meet a body
                Comin thro' the grain;
                Gin a body kiss a body,
               The thing's a body's ain.
