@faakid I am sure Andy would love to have written it, but the version you are referencing was on A Thing of the Past, a covers record. Its a Louden Wainwright song as far as I know.

Thanks for this. I always knew it as a Kate McGarrigle song. Now I'll listen to her ex-husband's version. With regard to who actually wrote this ... the reference to St Eustache would suggest that this is Kate's composition - we're in Quebec here.

I believe this is Loudon's song... and just to put the record straight, I wrote the verse about Ste Eustache because my parents used to summer there in the 1930s.
I did learn the song from Kate.

Aha... That explains one mystery. When I wrote my comment I found myself thinking: Ste Eustache, Ste Eustache, er..., I don't know if I actually remember that in Kate's version! However, the McGarrigles' songs are so full of Québec lore and references that your addition is perfect, totally in their spirit. On the other hand, if it was Loudon's song, well, ... anyhow - whatever! I like it.

I was friends with Anna McGarrigle for a brief time in the early 1960s and because of that I met Kate on several occasions and heard them playing together at their home in St. Sauveur (this was before they had a career). I have great admiration for their music.
