about

The storyteller sits on a stool in a smokey public house, telling his stories... and as the music switches to a familiar traditional tune, he gets to the subject of... The Morrisons.

lyrics

Ah there it is
Morrison's Jig
A fine Irish tune
But as we listen to the pennywhistle
I can tell you a tale of another man named Morrison
He came over to Quebec from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland
Ended up in the East
In the Haut Saint Francois
Where many of his people went
Donald Morrison was a cowboy
He was good with horses, russling cattle, and good at shooting
He was able to afford a plot of land and build a home
And eventually
Could afford to bring the rest of his family over from Lewis
But in dealing with an unscrupulous moneylender
Resulted in Morrison losing his home
He was furious
Confronting the new "owners"
They claimed he burnt down a barn
And for this he came a wanted man
An American bounty hunter thought he could capture Donald and turn him in
And in an epic shootout in downtown Megantic
Lucius Warren met his maker
And so, Donald's flight began
Megantic, Stornoway, Nantes, Scotstown, Milan, Bury, Gould
He moved between these places for not 1, not 2 but 10 months, and
All the while the law was hot on his trail
And Donald was able to evade them,
In the greatest manhunt in Canadian history...
