Lyrics:

Johnny Tulloch, Agus Mary
Agus Iain, Alec 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 barreled 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 flowin’
Sang a Gaelic song there was no radio

When they got to the dance they could hear the fiddle playin’
The could see the couples swaying through a window by the door
Shuffled out a nickel to the man behind the wicket
Then heard the prompter holler for couples on the floor

Well they danced all night there was nobody carin’
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 ‘er go

Johnny Tulloch, Agus Mary
Agus Iain, Alec 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, Alec 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 headin’ home
