It was upon a Lammas night
When corn rigs are bonnie,
Beneath the moon's unclouded light
I held awa to Annie:
The time flew by wi' tentless heed
Till 'tween the late and early,
Wi' sma' persuasion she agreed to
See me thro' the barley.

Corn rigs an' barley rigs
Corn rigs are bonnie,
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Amang the rigs wi' Annie.

The sky was blue, the wind was still,
The moon was shining clearly:
I set her down wi' right good will
Amang the rigs o' barley,
I kent her heart was a' my ain
I loved her most sincerely;
I kiss'd her owre and owre again
Amang the rigs o' barley.

Corn rigs an' barley rigs
Corn rigs are bonnie,
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Amang the rigs wi' Annie.

I lock'd in my fond embrace,
Her heart was beating rarely,
My blessings on that happy place
Amang the rigs o' barley!
But by the moon and stars so bright
That shone that hour so clearly,
She aye shall bless that happy night
Amang the rigs o' barley.

Corn rigs an' barley rigs
Corn rigs are bonnie,
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Amang the rigs wi' Annie.

I hae been blythe wi' comrades dear
I hae been merry drinkin';
I hae been joyfu' gath'rin' gear
I hae been happy thinkin';
But a' the pleasures e'er I saw,
Tho' three times doubled fairly,
That happy night was worth them a'
Amang the rigs o' barley.

Corn rigs an' barley rigs
Corn rigs are bonnie,
I'll ne'er forget that happy night
Amang the rigs wi' Annie.
