James Morrison (c. 1800 – post 1830) was a Newcastle songwriter in the early part of the 19th century.
After completing his apprenticeship as a painter, he worked for some years as a Journeyman in Newcastle, before moving c1830 to Edinburgh, and from that date little is known of his life.
He was a nephew of the scholar Dr. Morrison, who, through hard work and self-teaching had risen from an Apprentice joiner to one of the most eminent scholars of his time.
