SONG.
Comin through the rye.
OMIN through the rye, poor body^
Comin through the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticotie,
Comin* through the rye.
Oh Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's feldom dry,
She's draigl't a her petticotie,
Comin through the rye.
Gin a body meet a body
Comin through the rye,
Gin a body kifs a body, *
Need a body cry ?
O Jenny's a* weet, &c
Gin a body meet a body
Comin through the glen ;
Gin a body kifs a body,
Need the warld ken ?
Oh Jenny's a' weet, &c.
Kiffin is the key of love,
And clappin is the lock,
And makin o's the bell thing
That e'er a young thing got.
Oh Jenny's a' weety &c,
