LYRICS
I got an uncle Huey, he’s got a boat down in Main-a-dieu
And when I lost my job at Devco, he says have I got a job for you
See I put my faith into no one, I’ve got no time for the government
Since they ripped up my house in Louisbourg and stuck it down on some blocks of cement
He says there’s a boat coming up from America with caskets filled with cocaine
There’s a goldmine out on the ocean and a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
There’s a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
We took his boat off the coast of Bateston, just out of sight of the shore
Me and my cousin and a Frenchman I’d never laid eyes on before
We met a boat that had come up from Boston, started heaving boxes overboard
Huey handed them a big bag of money, we were back in the harbour ‘round four
Singing there’s a boat coming up from America with caskets filled with cocaine
There’s a goldmine out on the ocean and a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
There’s a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
We’d be met there by seven morticians, loaded the boxes into their hearse
We’d set off with eight thousand dollars, laughing ‘bout what we’d spend it on first
Frenchman tells me his name is Thibault, that he grew up in Isle Madame
We could all go down to the church hall on Saturday and get drunker than hell at the dance
One night Thibault got fired up on moonshine, tried to beat up a Catholic priest
We got thrown out on our ass behind that church hall, we spent the night with the Mounted Police
We went on working for weeks every Sunday ’til Huey says we gotta slow it down
Someone’s been singing like a jailbird and it brought all the Mounties to town
They heard there’s a boat coming up from America, heard ‘bout the caskets filled with cocaine
There’s a goldmine out on the ocean and a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
There’s a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
Huey calls us all down to the docks one night and he hustled us out to the sea
He shut off the engines and floodlights and he pointed a shotgun at me
I said Huey I ain't the one been singing, must be the Frenchman from Isle Madame
He said that’s just what a turncoat would tell me, least you could do is die like a man
Funny they could not be bothered with a casket but what use is it now to complain
There’s a graveyard out on the ocean and a lighthouse in Little Lorraine
And as the buckshot it entered my brain, I saw the lighthouse in Little Lorraine
There’s a lighthouse in Little Lorraine

This guy is an absolute Canadian gem

[@vidarye5859]

The singing and song writing sound like Brian Fallon. That’s a good thing too, bravo

[@scrimshank1]

Puts me in mind of Cape Breton's answer to Steve Earl's "Copperhead Road".

[@lydiarogalinski7342]

They are making a movie called little Lorraine we saw them setting up in Louisburg I can't wait to see it come out. They told us about this song which brings me here

[@kwc3062]

Yeap, and the production company that came in took liberties. Chasing down payments for use of property. Damages to property and so much more. Would be wise for Adam to disconnect himself from the Production company that came in. Cause they fucked over residence of Lousibourg to film. There was no communication or proper respect. So unfortunate. After all we opened up our homes and businesses for Adam. To stand behind him and promote him in this movie from his video. Still do. A talented man, Will he stand behind the people who did so in holding this production company to account for damages in his name. Small town politics.

[@psofia164]

​@@kwc3062oh that's so sad. I lived there in Louisbourg for 2 months in 2023. It's only in my memory now ❤

[@garetthoffard853]

got about 15 seconds into this song on Spotify and thought "yup sounds like the boss". Good stuff. I am a fan!

[@msguitargal11]

The more I listen to it the more I love it.

[@brennanlejean9912]

Twist ending for Uncle Huey!

[@Steve-mz7np]

Great song Adam, I grew up in the burg, I was friends with the boys in the Baleine hash bust, lots of great old locals stories to draw from, hope your tunes are paying the bills , cheers.

[@billysheers5331]

Such a great song, story, and beautiful video.

[@gwenhochheimer2273]

I'm so excited that it's been turned into a film.I'm hoping there were lots of Canadians involved in the production.

[@lyseboyce2642]

Congratulations on the ECMA song of the year for this one - well deserved!! I’ve been lucky to hear you perform it live three times this spring: at the Jay Smith benefit show, at one of the Rebecca Cohn shows(the Thursday one that sold out super fast) and most recently at the ECMA songwriters circle. Great to hear each time, along with the stories about it. Have been playing the Concertos & Serenades album lots. Sent a copy to my musician parents along with some writing about what I like about the album. And this video is excellent. So many details in it. Have watched it several times since it was released and it’s nice to see the comments accumulating

[@lyseboyce2642]

I recognized one of the actors from this video at the Matthew Good (and band) show last night in Halifax. It was nice to chat with him about this project and other music related stuff he’s involved with. Sounds like this video was a fun project to be a part of. (Not surprising!) He’s one of the actors in the scene of the Saturday night church hall gathering, and also in the final scene at the wake - he takes the gun away from the main character’s mother, using a handkerchief. I have watched this video several times as I think it’s really well done - locations, characters, details, the changing energy / moods, lighting. Plus I love this song. The person I talked with has done work with some other musicians whose whose music I really like - Matt Mays, Willie Nelson & family. It’s always great to chat with people who also love music and the arts, and who do work connected with it. Including taking about how it’s been excellent to see Adam Baldwin’s songwriting and solo career gain momentum. I went to the Alan Doyle show in Halifax in March where Adam Baldwin opened. It was at the Metro Centre and Alan mentioned it was the biggest venue of the North American tour they’re currently on. A full house, fun show, and such a happy crowd.

[@aquakultre]

What a film👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ryanpalmer3284]

What an ending! I wasn’t expecting that after listening to the song for awhile. Well done.

[@kokojumo]

Unreal!

[@deborahrudderham]

This is another sensational masterpiece Adam. I listened to it over and over again, and even cried. It was picture perfect. You TOTALLY FILL THE BILL !!!!!! THIS and the second song ( The Causeway Road ) ever had a song hit me like these two do. I am so very proud to have you as part of my family, even if it is distantly. Your nana, ( my best, best friend, sister, and confidante) is beyond the heavens proud. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Hugs coming from The Cape.

I grew up on the Clancy Brother and Tommy Makem...and boy, does this make me happy....so I'm going to go buy this on iTunes along with the whole damn album...and everywhere else I can find it. Also...nice sweaters...and thanks to Tom Power who introduced us....

[@tmacrae]

Such a great video rising to meet such a phenomenal song.

[@sashlipinski7034]

I could totally hear Bruce Springsteen doing this! What a great song!

[@groovintunesful]

Great job Adam! And all the best for your upcoming tour!

[@Northernfire]

heard on the Q (thank goodness for the CBC) and had to hear again . wow wow wow .

[@karenthemudnymph]

On my Favorites of All Time playlist. Adam, you are awesome, sir. What a phenomenal story and video. Can't wait to see you again at the PLP.

[@nathanbanton5208]

Nice.

[@0athwood]

Absolutely phenomenal! Musical artistry of this caliber makes me proud to be a Bluenoser. Great storytelling and visuals, too! At the risk of sounding like a critic, or like I'm trying to nitpick, the scene in the church at roughly 3:33 could probably have used a couple more extras, since the room feels empty when the camera shots aren't tightly narrowed in on the subject(s). It's only a small thing in the grand scheme of things though! Otherwise I'd call this damn near flawless.

[@janineboutilier8495]

Love the surprise ending!!

Has this movie already been shot? Halifax actor Mark A owen. Funny I had the same idea for a movie.

I wonder if he is related to Baldwin's from louisbourg.

[@ericlewis77]

Can I have some more of this please?

[@derekmosher4561]

Whenever I watch this I think of my Grandfather who was a rum runner for Al Capone . My Grandfather didn`t get shot though , but the same sort of story line though .

The final outcome looks fantastic. I had so much fun playing the Funeral Director. Congratulations Adam and Andy!! I can't wait to work again with you on the feature. 😀

[@craiggagnon8407]

if you're going for early Springsteen...you're nailing it. I ABSOLUTELY love your music bud. Caught you last night in Halifax, sound there was shite, but you, holy shit. That battle of the guitars with mays was off the charts. Hope we cross paths again soon bud.... fuck yes!

[@billparker8954]

I don't usually listen to lyrics. But this story has me hooked. Fucking beautiful, I love this song.

[@msguitargal11]

I have to confess that I have not been keeping up on our wonderful talented local musicians lately. But I was listening to CBC the other morning while trying to exercise and hopefully recover some of my interests in playing and writing myself........ and they played your song. I immediately had to look it up and play it over and over again. Such great talent you have. Hope you don't mind that I am sharing the song to as many places and people that I can. Am looking forward to hearing more of your music.

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

CBC in what city?

[@gwenhochheimer2273]

I heard it on a segment that was network-wide. It was on radio. Not sure about TV. I think it included an interview with him as part of the Juno coverage. Either that or 'Q'.

[@gwenhochheimer2273]

I thought about it some more and realized that I was wrong about when I first heard this song. It was on 'Weekend Mornings' with Bill Roache.
