"Comin' Through the Rye"

-Robert Burns


Comin through the rye, poor body,
Comin through the rye,
She draggled all her petticoatie
Comin through the rye!
O Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
a' weet=all wet
Jenny's seldom dry.
She draggled all her petticoatie
Comin through the rye!
Should a body meet a body
Comin through the rye,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?
O Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry.
She draggled all her petticoatie
Comin through the rye!
Should a body meet a body
Comin through the glen,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need the warld ken?
warld (world) - two syllables
ken=know
O Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry.
She draggled all her petticoatie
Comin through the rye!
Should a body meet a body
Comin through the grain,
Should a body kiss a body,
The thing's a body's ain.
ain=own
O Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry.
She draggled all her petticoatie
Comin through the rye!
