The Land of Scots

Gin a body meet a body
Comin' thro' the rye
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body cry?
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.

Gin a body meet a body
Comin' frae the town
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body frown?
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.

'Mang the train there is a swain
I dearly lo'e myself
But what his name or whaur his hame
I dinna care to tell
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.

I'm off to Edinburgh tomorrow (very early in the morning!) until Saturday. I kind of wish I had planned this for earlier in the term, but I am getting excited. One of my friends is at the University of Edinburgh for the term, so I get to hang out with her which should be fun. I'll try and get online at some point and let you all know what I'm up to.

P.S. I picked this song specifically for it's Catcher in the Rye significance. It turns out all my flatmates love that book too, which makes me really happy with life.
