O gin a body meet a body,
Comin throu the rye;
Gin a body f--k a body,
Need a body cry.

Comin' thro' the rye, my jo,
An' comin' 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 f--k a body,
Need the warld ken.

Gin a body meet a body,
Comin' thro' the grain;
Gin a body f--k a body,
C--t's a body's ain.

Gin a body meet a body,
By a body's sel,
What na body f--s a body,
Wad a body tell.

Mony a body meets a body,
They dare na weel avow;
Mony a body f--s a body,
Ye wadna think it true.
