The Barnyards
of Delgaty (reinhören)
As I cam' in
by Turra market,
Turra market for to fee,
I fell in wi' a fairmer chiel,
The Barnyards o' Delgaty
Chorus
Linten adie toorin adie,
Linten adie toorin ee;
Linten lowrin,lowrin,lowrin,
The Barnyards o'Delgaty
He promised
to me ae the best pair
Every I set my e'en upon,
When I gaed to the Barnyards
Naething there but skin and bone!
Chorus
The auld black
horse sat on his rump,
The auld white mare lay on her wime,
For a' that I could 'Hup!' and crack,
They wouldna rise at yokin' time.
Chorus
When I gae
to the kirk on Sunday
Mony's the bonnie lass I see
Sittin' by her faither's side,
Winkin' owre the pwes at me.
Chorus
I can drink
and no' be drunken
I can fecht and no' be slain,
I can lie wi' anither man's lass,
And aye be welcome to my ain.
Chorus
Noo my cannle
is brunt oot,
My snotter's fairly one the wane,
Sae fare ye weel, ye Barnyards,
Ye'll never catch me here again!
Chorus
