A song credited to Robert Burns, but perhaps one of the many he found and added to, about a lass who thinks about who she might meet while walking through the field of rye. She suggests she might have a secret admirer, or even admirers.

Gin a body meet a body
Comin through the rye
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body cry?

Chorus

Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet aa the lads they smile at me
When comin through the rye

Gin a body meet a body
Comin through the toon,
Gin a body greet a body
Need a body froon?

Amang the train there is a swain
I dearly loe masel
But what's his name an where's his hame
I dinna care to tell

Gin a body meet a body
Comin frae the well
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body tell?

Blialam says, 'This version of the classic Burns song was prepared for the first ever Music School Burns Supper. There is a visual element to the live performance that you'll just have to imagine.

'The recording features Goldilocks and the Three Bears with Whistlin' Swanee Ellis.'

Listen to 'Comin Through the Rye', performed by Blialam.
