BARNYARDS O’ DELGATY

As I cam in by Turra Market, Turra Market for tae fee
I fell in wi' a wealthy farmer, the Barnyards O'Delgaty
He promised me the aye best mare, That iver I set my eyes upon
But when I gat t'his barnyard, There's naethin' there but skin and bone

Luntin addie, turin addie, Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin', The barnyards o'Delgaty!

As I cam doon tae Kirk on Sunday, mony's th' bonny lass I see
Sittin' by her mither's side, winkin' o'er th' pews at me!
Lang Jean Scott she maks ma bed, you can see the marks upon my shins
She's the coorse ill-trickit Jaud who fills my bed wi Prickly whins

Luntin addie, turin addie, Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin', The barnyards o'Delgaty!

At Rhynie’s I sheared my first hairst, near tae the foot o' Bennachie;
My maister was richt ill to fit, but laith was I to lose my fee
Rhynie's work is ill to work, and Rhynie's wages is but sma'
Rhynie's laws is double strict, and that does grieve me worst of a'

Luntin addie, turin addie, Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin', The barnyards o'Delgaty!

Noo me cannle is brunt oot, me snotter's fairly on the wane,
Fare-ye-weel ye Barnyards: ye'll niver see me here again!

Luntin addie, turin addie, Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin', The barnyards o'Delgaty!
Luntin addie, turin addie, Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin', The barnyards o'Delgaty!
