| Summary: | Song recounting the discovery of Mick Organ's can of moonshine; the singers are told of this when they land at Donnell's Cove on a stormy Friday, October 4th. The discovery occurred after a few attempts in which Organ outwitted "the cutler". The informant claimed to have written this song thirty years previously, along with his cousing, Harry MacDonald, about an actual incident. The song has an added dimension as Wilcott married Mick Organ's niece. See also "The Moonshine Can" in Peacock, "Songs of the Newfoundland Outports" 1965 pp. 66-75.
