If a body meet a body,
Comin' frae the town;
If a body meet a body,
Need a body frown!

Ev'ry lassie has her laddie,
Nane they say ha'e I,

Yet all the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye!

Amang the train there is a swain,

I dearly lo'e 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 all the lads they smile at me

When comin' thro' the rye.
