The Music Of Scotland



    Comin' Thro' The Rye

    Gin a body meet a body
    Comin' thro' the rye
    Gin a body kiss a body
    Need a body cry?
    Ilka lassie has her laddie
    Nane, they say, hae I
    Yet a' the lads they smile at me
    When comin' thro' the rye.

    Gin a body meet a body
    Comin' frae the town
    Gin a body kiss a body
    Need a body frown?
    Ilka lassie has her laddie
    Nane, they say, hae I
    Yet a' the lads they smile at me
    When comin' thro' the rye.

    'Mang the train there is a swain
    I dearly lo'e myself
    But what his name or whaur his hame
    I dinna care to tell
    Ilka lassie has her laddie
    Nane, they say, hae I
    Yet a' the lads they smile at me
    When comin' thro' the rye.
