As I came in by Tara Market,
Tara Market for tae fee,
I met up wi' a farmer child
In the Barnyards o' Delgaty.
Chorus:
Lin-tin-addy, too-rin-addy,
Lin-tin-addy, too-rin-ee,
Lin-tin-lowrin-lowrin-lowrin,
The Barnyards of Delgaty.
He promised me the ae best pair,
That ever I laid my eyes upon,
When I got to the barnyards,
There was nothin' there but skin and bone!
Chorus
The old grey horse sat on his rump,
The old white mare sat on her whine.
When it came to the "Whup" and crack
They shouldn't rise at yokin' time.
Chorus
When I go to the kirk on Sunday
Many's the bonny lass I see
Sittin' by her father's side
And winkin' o'er the pews at me!
Chorus
And I can drink and not get drunk,
I can fight and not be slain.
I can sleep with another man's wife
And still be welcome to my ayn.
Chorus
Now my candle is burnt out,
My snotter's fairly on the wane.
Fare the well ye Barnyards,
You'll never catch me here again!
Chorus
