I wrote a few on the subject myself, one of which was my biggest hit that went tinfoil with a bullet:

                   8 O'CLOCK AND MABOU

      I LEFT MY HOME AT EIGHT O'CLOCK, AS SOBER AS COULD BE
      HEADING INTO MABOU TO BUY A POUND OF TEA
      TOMMY FRASER MET ME AS I WALKED ALONG THE ROAD
      HE SAID " JUMP UP INTO THE CAB ,WE'RE HEADING TO GLENCOE."

                                  (CHORUS)
    BETWEEN 8 O'CLOCK AND MABOU I MUST HAVE LOST MY WAY
    I DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME THAT NIGHT OR FOR ANOTHER DAY
    BETWEEN 8 O'CLOCK AND MABOU I WENT UPON A SPREE
    AND IF THERE'S MOONSHINE IN THE JUG THEN PASS IT ON TO ME


    TOMMY DROVE THE OLD FORD LIKE A DEMON THROUGH THE RUTS
      POTHOLES BANGING ON THE SPRINGS, A ROOSTER TAIL OF DUST
      BUT HE PULLED HER OVER WHEN WE GOT TO JOE MAC LEAN'S
      A GALLON JUG OF MOONSHINE WAS OUR PURCHASE THERE THAT DAY

                                    (CHORUS)

      WE HEADED INTO MABOU AND WE WENT TO LITTLE NEIL'S
      AND HE TOOK DOWN HIS FIDDLE FOR TO PLAY SOME JIGS AND REELS
      SOON THE NEIGHBORS GATHERED AND A CEILIDH'S UNDER WAY
      AND THEN WE DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN IF IT WAS NIGHT OR DAY

                                     (CHORUS)

       WHEN I FINALLY MADE IT HOME MY WIFE WAS AT THE DOOR
       GIVING ME A LECTURE LIKE I NEVER HAD BEFORE
       SHE ASKED ME WHERE THE HELL I'D BEEN AND WHAT I HAD TO SAY
      "BETWEEN 8 O'CLOCK AND MABOU I MUST HAVE LOST MY WAY."

                                     (CHORUS) (c)1999                                                                  A.McLean
    Note: I sing it in D and the air is close enough to Wabash Cannonball to give folks a good idea of the song. Note that Mabou is a village in Cape Breton that was home to The Rankin Family and John Allen Cameron as well as many other great musicians and it continues to produce more and more.
