Thread Name: Origins: When First I Went to Caledonia
Subject: RE: When first I came to Caledonia
From Tony Cuffe's album WHEN FIRST I WENT TO CALEDONIA "A song from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. .. refers to the Caledonia Coal Mines in Glace Bay. #3 is one of the pits. Scataree is a small island off the coast of Cape Breton. Boulardrie is one of the more fertile farming areas. From the book SONGS AND STORIES OF DEEP COVE, CAPE BRETON by Amby Thomas" I can post the lyrics if you need them.
