"Gin a body meet a body,
Comin' through the rye
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?
Ilka lassie has a laddie
Nane, they say, ha'e I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
When comin' through the Rye."

If Lassie was good enough for Robbie Burns, it's good enough for me.

Did you know that "coming thro the Rye" refers to the ford crossing the Rye Water in Dalry North Ayrshire?  The ford is still there although there is a footbridge right next to it
