Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Picture this
It's fifty years ago on a small country farm
Johnny McMaster's place
And it's Friday night
You've just finished ten hot days of backbreaking labor
And the hay, the hay is finally in
[Verse 2]
You're sitting around the kitchen table
Under the dim light of the kerosine lantern
Everyone's laughing and joking
Telling stories
About their neighbors
[Verse 3]
You're halfway through a bottle of
Moonshine
And you're getting all fired up
For the dance
Ladies and gentlemen
I give you, The Mull River Shuffle
[Verse 4]
Here comes Mr. MacNeil
The fine shape that he is in
There is no telling which way he'll feel
After his twister around the bend
[Verse 5]
Raising the jar and raising hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
And some were purely fiction
[Verse 6]
Look up yonder, it's old McPhee
He's having a few, he can hardly see
Wrapped his buggy around a tree
Someone call the mounties
[Verse 7]
Raising the jar and raising hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
And some were purely fiction
[Verse 8]
Up spoke fine young Cameron
At the dance, got a fearful hammerin'
Today, all stutter and stammerin'
There'll be hell to pay come Saturday
[Verse 9]
Raising the jar and raising hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
And some were purely fiction
[Verse 10]
Danny Wright had a light
Burning bright every night
Waiting for the fish to bite
Along the shores of Cocomagh
[Verse 11]
Raising the jar and raising hell
There's plenty of stories that
Some were born of true detail
And some were purely fiction
[Verse 12]
There they stand by the door
Selling bush by the score
Asking you to buy some more
Along the shores of Cocomagh
[Verse 13]
Raising the jar and raising hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
And some were purely fiction
[Verse 14]
I'll go home, I'll go home
Full of the devil and full of the rum
I'll go home, I'll go home
We'll all go in the morning
[Verse 15]
I'll go home, I'll go home
Full of the devil and full of the rum
I'll go, but I'll go in the morning
[Verse 16]
I'll go home, I'll go home
Full of the devil and full of the rum
I'll go, but I'll go in the morning
[Verse 17]
I'll go home, I'll go home
Full of the devil and full of the rum
I'll go, but I'll go in the morning
[Verse 18]
I'll go home, I'll go home
Full of the devil and full of the rum
I'll go home, I'll go home
But I'll go in the morning
