By Robert Burns
Chorus
O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!
I
Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!
II
Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?
III
Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the glen,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need the warld ken?
Chorus
O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!
