If a body digs a body Rockin' through the rye If a body digs a body Need a body cry? Every lassie digs a laddie Nane they say, hey I Yet all the lassies rock with me When rockin' through the rye The Campbells are rockin' the blues away The Campbells are rockin' the blues away There ain't stoppin' if, man they're boppin' Gang a wa, gang a wa, go man go Bonny me lassie is on the beat Bonny me lassie is rockin' reet I'd be laddie it's a fittin' and I had it Gang a wa, let's go rockin' in the rye Maxwelton's braes are bonny And the blue bells lost their bloom They were jumpin' in the heather Like a knocked out feather Hey, dig that crazy news! The Campbells are rockin' the blues away The Campbells are rockin' the blues away Man let's give it up, give it up, give it up Gang a wa, let's go rockin' in the rye Maxwelton's braes are bonny And the blue bells lost their bloom They were jumpin' in the heather Like a knocked out feather They dig that crazy news! Hoot! The Campbells are rockin' the blues away The Campbells are rockin' the blues away Man let's live it up, live it up, live it up Gang a wa, let's go rockin' in the rye Gang a wa, let's go rockin' in the rye Gang a wa, let's go rockin' in the rye Based on an 18th century minstrel song written by Robert Burns. Melody: "Common' Frae The Town" COMIN' THRO' THE RYE O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body Jenny's seldom dry She draigl't a' her petticoatie Comin' thro' the rye! [Chorus] Comin' thro' the rye, poor body Comin' thro' the rye She draigl't a' her petticoatie Comin' thro' the rye! Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro' the rye Gin a body kiss a body Need a body cry? Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro' the glen Gin a body kiss a body Need the warl' ken? Gin a body meet a body Comin' thro' the grain Gin a body kiss a body The thing's a body's ain Ev'ry Lassie has her laddie Nane, they say, have I Yet all the lads they smile on me When comin' thro' the rye
