Lyrics:
O, Jenney's a'weet poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry;
She draigl't a' her petticoattie
Comin thro' the rye.
chorus:
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 warld ken?
Robert Burns
