Comin' Thro' the Rye
The Merry Muses of Caledonia
Comin' thro' the rye, my jo.An' comin' thro' the rye.She fand a staun o' staunin' graith,Comin' thro' the rye.
O gin a body meet a body,Comin' thro' the rye;Gin a body f—k a body,Need a body cry.
Comin', &c.
Gin a body meet a body,Comin' thro' the glen;Gin a body f—k a body.Need the warld ken.
Comin', &c.
Gin a body meet a body,Comin' thro' the grain;Gin a body f—k a body,C——s a body's ain.
Comin', &c.
Gin a body meet a body.By a body's sel,Whatna body f——s a body.Wad a body tell.
Comin' &c.
Mony a body meets a body,They dare na weel avow;Mony a body f——s a body.Ye wad na think it true.
Comin'. &c.
