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
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
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'
