Biography:
Shanneyganock are one of Newfoundland’s most identifiable bands. They've been a fixture in the local and traditional scene for almost a decade.
Shanneyganock was never really like any other band on the Atlantic scene: they don't make videos or dress in Queen St. fashions, they don't have a light show, and they don't worry about their 'image'.
They are big, burly men who know the meaning of hard work and the power of music to transcend all trouble.

Great Newfie song. Chorus is repeated after every verse and as many times as you'd
like at the end.
Chorus:
D
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack,
D A
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back;
D
I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout,
D A D
But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out!
Verse 1:
D
Casey wore his brand new hat to Murphy's wake last night,
D A
Someone stole his hat and, boys, it started up a fight;
D
Casey smashed the furniture, the radio as well,
D A
He nearly woke the corpse up when he began to yell:
Verse 2:
D
Casey kept on shouting, boys, they couldn't keep him quiet,
D A
Someone phoned up for the cops to come and stop the riot;
D
Two cops rushed into the room, but Casey laid them out,
D A
He fired them through the window, they both heard Casey shout:
Verse 3:
D
Casey kept on shouting, boys, till one-eyed Paddy Flynn,
D A
Socked him on the whiskers with a great big rolling pin;
D
He knocked poor Casey senseless, it was an awful clout,
D A
As he lay there unconscious Casey kept on shouting out:
like at the end.
