- LYRICS
Picture this Ladies and Gentlemen....
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 back breaking labor
And the hay....the hay is finally in
You're sitting around the kitchen table
Under the dim light of a kerosene lantern
Everyone is laughing and joking and telling stories....
about their neighbors
You're halfway through a bottle of....moonshine
And you're getting alllllll fired up....for the danccccce
Ladies and Gentlemen....I give you the Mull River Shuffle
Here comes Mister MacNeil
The fine shape that he is in
There is no telling which way he'll feel
After his twister around the bend
Raisin' the jar and raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
and some were purely fiction
Look up yonder it's old MacPhee
He's having a few he can hardly see
Wrapped his buggy around a tree
Someone call the Mounties
Raisin' the jar and raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
and some were purely fiction
Up spoke fine young Cameron
At the dance got a fearful hammerin'
He'll be stutterin' and stammerin'
There'll be hell to pay come Saturday
Raisin' the jar and raisin' hell
there's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
and some were purely fiction
Danny Wright had a light
Burning bright every night
Waiting for the fish to bite
along the shores of 'Hogomagh
Raisin' the jar and raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
and some were purely fiction
There they stand by the door
Selling bush by the score
Asking you to buy some more
Along the shores of 'Hogomagh
Raisin' the jar and raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
and some are purely fiction
(chorus)
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 home in the morning
(repeat 5x)
My aunt and cousin went to this concert and they absolutely LOVED it..❤. I adore The Rankin family
John Morris back there, one of the greatest of all time. Rest in Peace, sir.
His daughter’s band is the best rock band to come out of Canada since Barenaked Ladies.
@@RandomNonsense1985 I've not listened to much Wavves, but I've heard good things.
Go Johnny, go!
probably the best song ever written...thank you rankin's for getting us on our feet with some grooooove
If you like this one try Christy Campbell's Melody
My most favourite of theirs!👏👏👏👏 The voices, the harmony, the piano, the fiddle, the guitars, the drums - EVERYTHING!
I was lucky to see them live twice and this song is amazing to experience
Loved this group!! Something made me pull out my 4 Cd's of their s today and I've been bouncing around listening to them ever since. Saw them 3 times live - always a phenomenal show. The pure voices, the fiddling, piano, drums, and amazing energy they put out was so much fun.
I often listen to this before meetings to feel more powerful
sad day for the UK ; watching this vid - happy memories of a concert in Scotland, thx, Gillian
