Lyrics:
First verse
Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro the rye, Gin a body kiss a body, Need a body cry? Ev'ry lassie has her laddie; Nane, they say, has I; Yet a' the lads they smile at me, When comin' thro' the rye. Amang the train there is a swain I dearly lo'e mysel', But whaur his hame, or what his name, I dinna care to tell.
Second verse
Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro' the town, Gin a body greet a body, Need a body frown? Ev'ry lassie has her laddie; Nane, they say, has I; Yet a' the lads they smile at me, When comin' thro' the rye. Amang the train there is a swain I dearly lo'e mysel', But whaur his hame, or what his name, I dinna care to tell.
