Willie MacDonald - Jam On Gerry's Rocks

This song is about a log jam on Gerry's rock in which a number of lumbermen died, most notably, the foreman young Monroe. Monroe is mourned by his lover, Clara Vernon, who dies shortly after from a broken heart. The two are buried together. This song has been called by many the most popular woods song ever (Manny noted this in her book and Ken Homer once remarked on its popularity at one of the festivals). This song is sung a cappella. This song appears elsewhere in the Manny collection as (070-07), (085-11), (086-06), (087-05), and(121-01). Recorded in 1948.
