Well, Jenny's a sweet young body, Jenny's seldom dry, Draggled her petticoatie, comin' through the rye. If a body meet a body comin' through the rye, If a body kiss a body, need a body cry? All the la**ies have their laddies, Nane they say, have I; But all the laddies smile at me, Comin' through the rye. Well, Jenny's a sweet young body, Jenny's seldom dry, Draggled her petticoatie, comin' through the rye. If a body meet a body, comin' from the town, If a body kiss a body, need a body frown? If a body meet a body, comin' from the glen, If a body kiss a body, need a body ken? If a body meet a body comin' through the rye, If a body catch a body, need a body cry? All the la**ies have their laddies, Nane they say, have I; But all the laddies smile at me, Comin' through the rye.
