Comin’ thro’ the Rye (song) - Did you know

Comin’ thro’ the Rye         by            Robert Burns

Gin a body meet a body

Comin thro the rye

Gin a body kiss a body

Need a body cry?

Chorus

Ilka lassie has her laddie,

Nane, they say, ha’ I

Yet a’ the lads they smile at me

When coming thro the rye.

Gin a body meet a body

Comin’ frae the toon

Gin a body greet a body

Need a body frron?

Chorus

Ilka lassie has her laddie,

Nane, they say, ha’ I

Yet a’ the lads they smile at me

When coming thro the rye.

Amang the train there is a swain

I dearly lo’e mysel’

But what’s his name; what’s his hame

I dinna care to tell.

Chorus

Ilka lassie has her laddie,

Nane, they say, ha’ I

Yet a’ the lads they smile at me

When coming thro the rye.
