The Barnyards of Delgaty
As I cam in by Turra market
Turra market for to fee
I fell in wi' a wealthy fairmer
The barnyards o' Delgaty

Linten adie toorin adie
Linten adie toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

He promised me the ae best pair
I ever set my e'en upon;
When I gaed hame tae the Barnyards
There was naething there but skin and bone


Linten adie toorin adie
Linten adie toorin ee
Lintеn lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

The auld black horsе sat on his rump
The auld white mare lay on her wime;
For a' that I could 'Hup' and crack
They wouldna rise at yoking time
Linten adie toorin adie
Linten adie toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

When I gae to the kirk on Sunday
Mony's the bonnie lass I see
Sitting by her faither's side
And winking ower the pews at me

Linten adie toorin adie
Linten adie toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

I can drink and no' be drunk
And I can fecht and-no' be slain
I can lie wi' anither man's lass
And aye be welcome to my ain

Linten adie toorin adie
Linten adie toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

My caunle noo it is brunt oot
The snotter's fairly on the wane;
Sae fare ye weel, ye Barnyards
Ye'll never catch me here again
Linten adie toorin adie
Linten adie toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty
