Oh drat. You've found me out! But it's Moncton, NB (not NS). We don't like to be confused with the Nova Scotians to the south.

As for "stemming gold," I think ALL the suggested interpretations are a part of its meaning. For years, the line was fuzzy to me too .... but I always had an overall sense of the scene.

Haven't run into Jesse Joe yet. At least not as far as I know!
