Rockin’ Thru the Rye Lyrics

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 rocking
The blues away
The Campbells are rocking
The blues away

There ain't no stopping it
Man, they're bopping it
Gang a wild, gang a wild
Go, man, go

A bonny wee lassie is on the beat
A bonny wee lassie is rocking reet
I'd be laddie it's a fitting
That I had it

Gang a wild
Let's go rockin' in the rye
Maxwelltown's braes are bonny
And the bluebells lost the blues
They were jumping in the heather
Like a knocked out feather
Hey, dig that crazy news, hoot!

The Campbells are
Rocking the blues away
The Campbells are
Rocking the blues away

Man, let's give it up
Give it up, give it up
Gang a wild
Let's go rockin' in the rye

Maxwelltown's braes are bonny
And the bluebells lost the blues
They were jumping in the heather
Like a knocked out feather
Hey, dig that crazy news, hoot!

The Campbells are
Rocking the blues away
The Campbells are
Rocking the blues away
Man, let's live it up
Live it up, live it up
Gang a wild
Let's go rockin' in the rye

Gang a wild
Let's go rockin' in the rye
Gang a wild
Let's go rockin' in the rye
