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)
