and say:
If a body meet'a body coming through the
wheat
And body kiss body wouldn't it be sweet.
And she smiled and said the rye of

branch named Rye, and the lassie was
wading through it when her lover met
her on the rocks and kissed her. SO

that wheat field would have been as
good a place for the business as a
