Eddi Reader Comin' Through The Rye lyrics

comin' through the rye, poor bodies
comin' through the rye
gin a body meet a body
need a body cry

Jenny's all wet, poor body
Jenny's seldom dry
she's draigl't all her petticoaties
comin' through the rye

comin' through the rye

gin a body meet a body
comin' through the rye
gin a body kiss a body
need a body cry

every lassie has a laddie,
none they say have I
well, all the lassies smile at me, when
comin' through the rye

through the rye


– Dram behind the curtain

comin' through the rye, poor bodies
comin' through the rye
comin' through the rye, poor bodies
comin' through the rye

Jenny's all wet, poor body
Jenny's seldom dry
she's draigl't all her petticoats
comin' through the rye

through the rye

– Dram behind the curtain, vocalise backing vocal

oh, she's draigl't all her petticoaties
comin' through the rye {laugh}
