First Line: Coming through the rye, poor body
Last Line: Coming through the rye.


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