Johnny Tulloch - Lyrics by Rankin Family


Lyrics
Johnny Tulloch agus Maryagus Iain Alex Rory
Angus Hector, Mary Sarah,
Archie Dan, Alex Joe
Little Johnny Dougal agus
Theresa Duncan Peter
All piled in a wagon fora dance in Glencoe
Well they barrelled downthe 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 toget 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 manbehind the wicket
Then heard the prompter holler"
Four couples on the floor"
Well they danced all night therewas nobody caring
Shuffled in the gravel and theyshuffled in the snow
Stepped 'er in the hall andthey stepped 'er in the parking lot
Didn't give a damn they just had tolet her go
Johnny Tulloch agus Maryagus Iain Alex Rory
Angus Hector, Mary Sarah,
Archie Dan, Alex Joe
Little Johnny Dougal agus
Theresa Duncan Peter
All piled in a wagon fora dance in Glencoe
Johnny Tulloch agus Maryagus Iain Alex Rory
Angus Hector, Mary Sarah,
Archie Dan, Alex Joe
Little Johnny Dougal agus
Theresa Duncan Peter
All piled in a wagon fora dance in Glencoe
All piled in a wagon fora dance in Glencoe
All piled in a wagon forthey were heading home.
