Leis An Lurgain Lyrics - 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
