The Barnyards O' Delgaty Songtext
von The McCalmans

An′ you did marry 'fore I was born
The chiel to you′se, did airly came
Then you'll no believe a word
Just set a glass, will tell a tale

Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

As I cam′ in by Turra market
Turra market for to fee
I fell in wi′ a farmer chiel
Fra the barnyards o' Delgaty

Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o′ Delgaty


He promised me the ae best horses
Best in all the country roon
When I gaed tae the barnyards
There was naething there but skin and bone

Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

When I gaed tae the kirk on Sunday
Mony′s the bonnie lass I see
Sittin' by her faither′s side
And winkin' o'er the pews at me

Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o′ Delgaty

Well, I can drink and no′ be drunk
And I can fecht and no' be slain
I can sleep wi′ anither man's lass
And aye be welcome to my ain


Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o′ Delgaty

And now the candle is burnt out
The snotter's fairly on the wane
Sae ye weel ye farmer′s yard
Ye'll never catch me here again

Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o' Delgaty

Linten adie, toorin adie
Linten adie, toorin ee
Linten lowrin, lowrin, lowrin
The Barnyards o′ Delgaty
