"...Marius Barbeau found another version in Beauce County, Quebec, as On the Banks of Jedddore (CAS 1). "

Jeddore Harbour is two harbours (or one harbour and an inlet east of Petpeswick (Inlet)) where Helen C. collected the song. Greenough families still live there. The area around Chezzetcook/Jeddore has an Acadian population.

Hope that sheds a little light on the Quebec version.
