Author: Robert Burns Hymnal: AHSC1914 #178 (1914) First Line: If a body meet a body Refrain First Line: Ev'ry lassie has her laddie Lyrics: 1 If a body meet a body,
Comin' thro the rye,
If a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?
Ev'ry lassie has her laddie,
Nane, they say, ha'e I,
Yet a' the lads they smile on me,
When comin' thro' the rye.
2 If a body meet a body,
Comin' frae the town,
If a body greet a body,
Need a body frown?
Ev'ry lassie has her laddie,
Nane, they say, ha'e I,
Yet a' the lads they smile on me,
When comin' thro' the rye.
3 Amang the train there is a swain I
Dearly love mysel':
But what's his name, or where's his hame I
dinna choose to tell.
Ev'ry lassie has her laddie,
Nane, they say, ha'e I,
Yet a' the lads they smile on me,
When comin' thro' the rye.
