about

Ged a tha an t-òran seo sìmplidh, tha e tarraingeach, gu sònraichte nuair a thòisicheas a h-uile neach san t-seòmar a’ seinn còmhla san t-seist.

We’re dedicating this song to two people who were a big part of Fionnag’s musical upbringing: her uncle and auntie, Kenneth and Marlene Mackenzie of Lochinver.

Our children, Órla and Ró, also take the lead for part of this song.

lyrics

Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash
And never more you’ll toil

We just lay there by the juniper
While the moon was bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

My daddy he made whisky
My grand-daddy he did too
But we ain’t paid no whisky tax
Since 1792

Build you a fire of hickory
Of hickory and ash and oak
But don’t use no green or rotten wood
It’ll get you by the smoke
