Barnyards Of Delgaty Traditional As I got down to Turra market, Turra market for to fee I fell in with a wealthy farmer, the barnyards of Delgaty A linten addie toorin addie, linten addie toorin ae Linten lowrin lowrin lowrin, the barnyards of Delgaty He promised me the one best horse that e'er I set my eyes upon When I got to the barnyards, there was nothing there but skin and bone A linten addie toorin addie, linten addie toorin ae Linten lowrin lowrin lowrin, the barnyards of Delgaty As I go down to church on Sunday, many's the bonnie lass I see Sitting by her mothers side, winkin' over the pews at me A linten addie toorin addie, linten addie toorin ae Linten lowrin lowrin lowrin, the barnyards of Delgaty Now, I can drink and no be drunken, I can fight and no be slain I can court with another mans lass and still be welcome to me ain A linten addie toorin addie, linten addie toorin ae Linten lowrin lowrin lowrin, the barnyards of Delgaty Ah, now my candle is burnt oot, my snotter's fairly on the wane Fare ye well ye barnyards, you'll never see me here again A linten addie toorin addie, linten addie toorin ae Linten lowrin lowrin lowrin, the barnyards of Delgaty

Just noticed the following on your site (nice one by the way):
Barnyards Of Delgaty (lyrics)
This has been indexed under Irish Songs but is actually an old Aberdeenshire (ie Scottish) song, the "Turra" is the first line being Turriff, home of the well-known "Turra Coo".
