• 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?
