Rankin Family - Johnny Tulloch lyrics

Johnny Tulloch agus Mary

agus Iain Alex Rory

Angus Hector, Mary Sarah,

Archie Dan, Alex Joe

Little Johnny Dougal agus

Theresa Duncan Peter

All piled in a wagon for

a dance in Glencoe

Well they barrelled down

the back roads

By the farmhouse and the pasture

They barrelled down the back roads

Where the bochans wouldn't go

Sipped a little dealach just to

get the diddle flowing

Sang a gaelic song there was no radio

When they got to the dance

They could hear the fiddle playing

The could see the couples swaying

Through a window by the door

Shovelled out a nickel to a man

behind the wicket

Then heard the prompter holler

"Four couples on the floor"

Well they danced all night there

was nobody caring

Shuffled in the gravel and they

shuffled in the snow

Stepped 'er in the hall and

they stepped 'er in the parking lot

Didn't give a damn they just had to

let her go

Johnny Tulloch agus Mary

agus Iain Alex Rory

Angus Hector, Mary Sarah,

Archie Dan, Alex Joe

Little Johnny Dougal agus

Theresa Duncan Peter

All piled in a wagon for

a dance in Glencoe

Johnny Tulloch agus Mary

agus Iain Alex Rory

Angus Hector, Mary Sarah,

Archie Dan, Alex Joe

Little Johnny Dougal agus

Theresa Duncan Peter

All piled in a wagon for

a dance in Glencoe

All piled in a wagon for

a dance in Glencoe

All piled in a wagon for

they were heading home
