The Barnyards o' Delgaty - Old Blind Dogs

As I cam in by Turra Mercat

Turra Mercat for tae fee

I met in wi a fermer chiel

Fae the Barnyards o Delgaty

Oh linten addie

Oh linten addie

Oh linten lowrin

The Barnyards o Delgaty

He promised the ae best pair

Ever I set my een upon

Fan I got tae the Barnyards

There wis naethin' there but skin and bone

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty

The auld black horse sat on its rump

The auld fite meir lay on her wame

For aw that I coud hup an crack

She wouldna rise at yokin time

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty

Oh aul' Meg Smith, she maks ma brose

And it’s wi her I can agree

First a knot, aye, syne a maut

And aye anither jilp o bree

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty

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

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty

Nou 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 me ain

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty

But nou ma caunle is brunt oot

Its splutterin fairly on the wane

Oh fare ye weel, ye Barnyards

Ye’ll niver catch me here again

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty

Oh linten addie (tourin addie)

Oh linten addie (tourin ey)

Oh linten lowrin (lowrin lowrin)

It’s the Barnyards o Delgaty
