One of my favorite fiddle tunes, that:
The Barnyards O'Delgaty
Line
Melody - Seq. by John Renfro Davis
Line

Traditional Bothy ballad

As I gang doon by Turra Market,
Turra Market for tae fee
I fell in wi' a farmer chiel,
Fae the Barnyards O'Delgaty
Chorus:
Luntin addie, turin addie,
Luntin addie turin ae
Luntin lowrin' lowrin' lowrin',
The barnyards o'Delgaty!

2. He promised me the aye best horse
That iver I set my een upon
But when I gat t'his barnyard,
There's naethin' there but skin and bone.
Chorus:

3. The auld black horse sat on her rump,
Th' auld grey mare sat on her wime
And fer all I'd whup an' crack,
They wouldna rise at yokin' time
Chorus:
        4. When I gang doon tae Kirk on Sunday,
Many's th' bonny lass I see
Sittin' by her father's side,
Winkin' o'er th' pews at me!
Chorus:

5. Oh I can drink and no be drunk,
And I can fecht an' no be slaun,
And I can lie wi' another man's lass
And still be welcome tae my own!
Chorus:

6. Noo me cannle is brunt oot,
Me snotter's fairly on the wane,
Fare-ye-weel ye Barnyards:
Ye'll niver catch me here again!
Chorus:
