Description:
"Comin` Thro` the Rye" is a poem written in 1782 by Robert Burns (1759–1796). It is well known as a traditional children`s song, with the words put to the melody of the Scottish Minstrel Common` Frae The Town. This is a variant of the tune to which Auld Lang Syne is usually sung—in fact the melodic shape is practically the same, the difference lying in the tempo and rhythm.
