"Coming thro' the Rye" (1796) Robert Burns Coming thro' the rye, poor body, Coming thro' the rye, She draiglet a' her petticoatie Coming thro' the rye. O, Jenny's a' wat, poor body; Jenny's seldom dry; She draiglet a' her petticoatie Coming thro' the rye. Gin a body meet a body Coming thro' the rye, Gin a body kiss a body— Need a body cry? Gin a body meet a body Coming thro' the glen, Gin a body kiss a body— Need the warld ken? "Coming thro' the Rye" (1796) Robert Burns Coming thro' the rye, poor body, Coming thro' the rye, She draiglet a' her petticoatie Coming thro' the rye.

Gin a body meet a body Coming thro' the glen, Gin a body kiss a body— Need the warld ken? Coming through the rye, poor body Coming through the rye, She drags her petticoats Coming through the rye Oh, Jenny’s wet, poor body Jenny’s seldom dry; She drags her petticoats Coming through the rye. When a body meets a body Coming through the rye When a body kisses a body, Does a body have to cry? When a body meets a body Coming through the valley, When a body kisses a body— Does the world have to know?
