I was born in the mountains of the Gaspé in a mining town , I grew up with many kids from northern NB , Dalhousie, Campbellton, DunDee, Lorn,Jacket River , Charlow , eel river crossing, etc. it was a song or part of a song the kids would repeat often in the early Sixties “ hold my coat give me a rock I’m from Jacket River and let me tell you I learned that the hard way. If you were ever in a rock fight , buddy , I had a kid my age move next door who out of the blue started throwing small sharp stones at me as i walked past , it felt like I was being stung by hornets , I had to run away, next a while later it happened again, this time I turned and ran towards him but in the midst of his rapid fire , and may I add he never missed once ‘ I couldn’t with stand the impacts I stoped and ran out of range only to see him dance in victory . Still I didn’t understand why he was doing this to me , I didn’t even know him . One day a repeat of the time before but this time I took the pain and continued my charge and he was taken off guard that I didn’t stop coming and he dropped the rocks to run home with me hot on his tail, I cought him at the door to his house and the beginning of his lesson ensured on consequences of his action , his mom opened the door to the ruckus and yelled at me , I told her what her son was up to and I’m sure this sounded all to familiar and grabbed him and hauled him into the house , as I left I could hear him getting another lesson lol. So regarding this song “Jacket River “ in my experience we are most likely talking about New Brunswick . How the singer came across the material or from who I don’t know but what I just stated is what I do know . Lol , and in that time early 1960s from what I remember the reputation was well know of Jacket River
