The Barnyards Of Delgaty Lyrics


Tommy Makem The Barnyards Of Delgaty


As I went in by Turra market
Turra market for to fee
I fell in with a wealthy farmer
At the barnyards of Delgaty
Chorus:
Lint-a-naddy, tour-a-naddy, lint-a-naddy, tour-a-nee
Lint-in-lowrin, lowrin, lowrin, the barnyards of Delgaty
He promised me the finest horse
That ever I set my eyes upon
But when I got to the barnyards
There was nothing there but skin and bone
Chorus

As I came in to church on Sunday
Many a bonnie lass I see
Sitting by her father's side
And winking o'er the pews at me
Chorus
I can drink and no' get drunk
And I can fight and no' be slain
I can court another man's lass
And still be welcome to my ain
Chorus
Now my candle is burned out
My snotter's fairly on the wane
Fare ye well ye barnyards
You'll never catch me here again
Chorus
