American Old Time Song Lyrics: 33 Comin Thro The Rye
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 33
COMIN' THRO' THE RYE
Gin a body meet a body comin' through the rye;
Gin a body kiss a body, need a body cry?
Ilka lassie has her laddie, nane, they say, ha'e I;
Yet a' the lads they smile at me, and what the waur am I?
Gin a body meet a body comin' frae the well,
Gin a body kiss a body, need a body tell?
Ilka lassie has her laddie, ne'er a ane ha'e I;
But a' the lads they smile on me, and what the waur am I?
Gin a body meet a body comin' frae the toun;
Gin a body greet a body, need a body froun?
Ilka lassie has her laddie, nane, they say, ha'e I;
But a' the lads they lo'e me weel, and what the waur am I?
