George,
You are absolutely correct. But it does follow the line that Mary Garvey used. " Way down in east Cape Bretion, where they knit their socks and mittens". Found I think in the first a/p that Catherine McKinnon recorded. I grew up in West Chezzetcook so I kind of never forgot that song. Was a big thing back then to hear your village named in a song.
Cheers,
Beer
