The Barnyards O' Delgaty

Lyrics

As I cam' in by Turra merkit
 Turra merkit for tae fee
 I met in wi' a fairmer cheil
 Fae the Barnyards o' Delgaty
 Oh linten addie
 Oh linten addie
 Oh linten lourin
 The Barnyards o' Delgaty
 ♪
 He promised the best pair
 Ever I set my een upon
 Fin I got tae the Barnyards
 There wis naethin' there but skin and bone
 Chorus (after each verse):
 Oh linten addie, toorin addie
 Oh linten addie, toorin ay
 Oh linten lourin, lourin lourin
 It's the Barnyards o' Delgaty
 ♪
 The auld black horse sat on its rump
 The auld fite meer lay on her wime
 For a' that I could hup an' crack
 She wouldna rise at yokin' time
 Oh aul' Meg Smith, she maks m' brose
 ♪
 And it's wi' her I canna gree
 First a knot and syne a mot
 And aye anither jelp o' bree
 Fan I gang tae the kirk on Sunday
 Mony's the bonnie lassie I see
 Sittin' by her faither's side
 An' winkin' ower the pews at me
 Noo I can drink an' no be drunk
 I can fecht and no be slain
 I can sleep wi' anither man's wife
 An' aye be welcome tae my ain
 But noo m' caunle is brunt oot
 It's splutterin' fairly on the wane
 Oh fare ye weel, ye Barnyards
 Ye'll nivver catch m' here again
