COMING THROUGH THE RYE.
TUNE—'COMING THROUGH THE RYE.'
Coming through the rye, poor body,Coming through the rye,She draiglet a' her petticoatie,Coming through the rye.Jenny's a' wat, poor body,Jenny's seldom dry;She draiglet a' her petticoatie,Coming through the rye.
Gin a body meet a body—Coming through the rye;Gin a body kiss a body—Need a body cry?
Gin a body meet a bodyComing through the glen,Gin a body kiss a body—Need the world ken?Jenny's a' wat, poor body;Jenny's seldom dry;She draiglet a' her petticoatie,Coming through the rye.
