The Barnyards of Delgaty Songtext
von The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

As I cam in tae Turra market, Turra market for tae fee
It′s I fell in wi' a wealthy fairmer, The barnyards o′ Delgaty

Lin-ten addie too rin addie, lin-ten addie toorin ae
Lin-ten low rin, low rin, low rin, the barnyards o' Delgaty

He promised me the ae best pair, that was in a' the kintra roon
Fan I gae hame tae the Barnyards, There was naething there but skin and bone

Lin-ten addie too rin addie, lin-ten addie toorin ae
Lin-ten low rin, low rin, low rin, the barnyards o′ Delgaty

The auld black horse sat on his rump, The auld white mare lay on her wime
For a′ that I would hup and crack, They wouldna rise at yokin' time


Lin-ten addie too rin addie, lin-ten addie toorin ae
Lin-ten low rin, low rin, low rin, the barnyards o′ Delgaty

Fan I gang tae the kirk on Sunday, Mony's the bonny lass I see
Sittin′ by her faither's side, An′ winkin' ower the pews at me

Lin-ten addie too rin addie, lin-ten addie toorin ae
Lin-ten low rin, low rin, low rin, the barnyards o' Delgaty

Oh, I can drink and no be drunken, An′ I can fecht an′ no be slain
An' I can lie wi′ anither man lass, An' aye be welcome tae my ain

Lin-ten addie too rin addie, lin-ten addie toorin ae
Lin-ten low rin, low rin, low rin, the barnyards o′ Delgaty

My caun'le noo it is burnt oot, It′s lo we is fairly on the wane
Sae fare ye weel ye Barnyards, Ye'll never me here again


Lin-ten addie too rin addie, lin-ten addie toorin ae
Lin-ten low rin, low rin, low rin, the barnyards o' Delgaty
