Little Shirley Beans 

Presented here is a version of Little Shirley Beans, the record that Holden got for Phoebe.  This is the record that he breaks  during his drunken wanderings through New York city, the pieces of which Phoebe wants to keep.  What do you think this all means?

Comin' thro' the Rye by Robbie Burns

O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry:
She draigl't  a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry? 

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the glen
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need the warl' ken?

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the grain;
Gin a body kiss a body,
The thing's a body's ain.

Ilka lassie has her laddie,
Nane, they say, ha’e I
Yet all the lads they smile on me,
When comin' thro' the rye.
Presented here are a few versions of Comin' Thro' the Rye by Robbie Burns.  This is the poem/song that Holden misinterprets and from which the title of the novel comes.  He thinks the poem states, "when a body catch a body/ Comin thro the rye".  He wants to catch children as run off of a cliff at the edge of a field of rye.  This represents his longing to save children from the 'phony' world of adulthood and keep them in the innocence of childhood.  Ironically, the actual poem says, " a body meet a body/ Comin thro the rye" and depicts a casual sexual encounter; the type of encounter that is typified in the world of adults.
