Comin' Thro' The Rye is a poem that was written by Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns in 1782. Burns is considered to be the national poet of Scotland, and he is a pioneer of The Romantic Movement - also know as Romanticism. The words to the song were put to music, and it is now a traditional Scottish song. The song was first recorded in 1912 by Polish soprano Marcella Sembrich, and it has been recorded by many in a variety of styles since. In 1926, Comin' Thro' The Rye was used for an installment of Max Fleischer's Song Car-Toons series.

COMING THROUGH THE RYE
Gin [if] a body meet a body
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin [if] a body kiss a body,
Need [must] a body cry [cry out
for help--or maybe get emotional]?
Ilka lassie has her laddie.
Nane, they say, ha’e I,
Yet all the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.
Gin [if] a body meet a body
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin [if] a body kiss a body,
Need [must] a body cry [cry out
for help--or maybe get emotional]?
Ilka lassie has her laddie.
Nane, they say, ha’e I,
Yet all the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.
