COMIN THROUGH THE RYE
Gin a body meet a body
Comin through the rye
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body cry?
Chorus:
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet aa the lads they smile at me
When comin through the rye
Gin a body meet a body
Comin through the toon,
Gin a body greet a body
Need a body froon?
Amang the train there is a swain
I dearly loe masel
But what's his name an where's his hame
I dinna care to tell
Gin a body meet a body
Comin frae the well
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body tell?
Blialam say, "This version of the classic Burns song was prepared for the first ever Music School Burns Supper. There is a visual element to the live performance that you'll just have to imagine." They say the recording "features Goldilocks and the Three Bears with Whistlin' Swanee Ellis".
A song credited to Robert Burns, but perhaps one of the many he found and added to, about a lass who thinks about who she might meet while walking through the field of rye grain. She suggests she might have a secret admirer, or even admirers.
