Dun Aenghus - Morrison’s: Public House

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “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. 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... from An Sc​é​alaí The Storyteller, released December 1, 2014 Bass: Guy Beeri Mauseth Acoustic Guitar: Martin Neuhold Irish Whistle, Synths, Bodhràn, and Storyteller’s Narration: Jeff McCarth“
