Over deze songtekst:

Het lied wordt gezongen door Paul Giovanni, zanger en gitarist van de band Magnet. Deze band was speciaal samengesteld om de soundtrack van de film The Wicker Man uit 1973 in te zingen.

Het lied 'Corn Rigs' of ook wel 'The Rigs O'Barley' genoemd, is een Schots volkslied. Men veronderstelt dat met Annie Anne Rankine wordt bedoeld. Zij was de dochter van een herbergier waar de schrijver Robert Burns meermalen verbleef.

Het lied telt nog 2 coupletten, die als volgt gaan:

I lock'd her 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

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

It was upon a Lammas night
When corn rigs are bonnie
Beneath the moon's unclouded light
I held awhile to Annie
The time went by with careless heed
'Til 'tween the late and early
With small persuasion she agreed
To see me through the barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs and
Corn rigs are bonnie
I'll not forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie 

The sky was blue, the wind was still
The moon was shining clearly
I set her down with right goodwill
Among the rigs o' barley
I kent her heart was all my own
I loved her most sincerely
I kissed her o'er and e'er again
Among the rigs of barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs and
Corn rigs are bonnie
I'll not forget that happy night
Among the rigs with Annie
