Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
