Johnny Tulloch Lyrics - Singles - Rankin Family

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.
