O gin a body meet a body,
Comin' throu the rye:
Gin a body fuck a body,
Need a body cry.
Comin' thro' the rye, my jo,
An' coming' thro' the rye;
She fand a staun o' staunin' graith,
Comin' thro' the rye.
Gin a body meet a body,
Comin' thro' the glen;
Gin a body fuck a body,
Need the warld ken.
Gin a body meet a body,
Comin' thro the grain;
Gin a body fuck a body,
Cunt's a body's ain.
Gin a body meet a body,
By a body's sel,
What na body fucks a body,
Wad a body tell.
Mony a body meets a body,
They dare na weel avow;
Mony a body fucks a body,
Ye wadna think its true.
