作词 : Robertson | |
The war was over | |
And the spirit was broken | |
The hills were smokin' | |
As the men withdrew | |
We stood on the cliffs, | |
Oh and watched the ships, | |
Slowly sinking to their rendezvous | |
They signed a treaty | |
And our homes were taken | |
Loved-ones forsaken, | |
They didn't give a damn. | |
Try to raise a family | |
End up an enemy | |
Over what went down on the Plains of Abraham. | |
[Chorus] | |
Acadian driftwood, | |
Gypsy tailwind | |
They call my home, | |
The land of snow | |
Canadian cold front, | |
Movin' in | |
What a way to ride, | |
Oh what a way to go | |
Then some returned, | |
To the motherland | |
The high command, | |
Had them cast away | |
Some stayed on, | |
To finish what they started | |
They never parted, | |
They're just built that way | |
We had kin livin', | |
South of the border | |
They're a little older, | |
And they been around | |
They wrote in a letter | |
Life is a whole lot better | |
So pull up your stakes, children, | |
And come on down | |
Acadian driftwood, | |
Gypsy tailwind | |
They call my home, | |
The land of snow | |
Canadian cold front, | |
Movin' in | |
What a way to ride, | |
Oh what a way to go | |
Fifty under zero when the day became a threat | |
My clothes were wet | |
And I was drenched to the bone | |
Then out ice fishin', mmm, | |
Too much repetition | |
Make a man want to leave | |
The only home he's known | |
Sailed out of the Gulf, | |
Headed for St. Pierre | |
Nothing to declare, | |
All we had was gone | |
Broke down along the coast oh | |
What hurt the most | |
When the people there said | |
"You better keep movin' on" | |
Acadian driftwood, | |
Gypsy tailwind | |
They call my home, | |
The land of snow | |
Canadian cold front, | |
Movin' in | |
What a way to ride, | |
Oh what a way to go | |
Everlastin' summer | |
Filled with ill-contempt | |
This government | |
Had us walkin' in chains | |
This isn't my turn | |
This isn't my season | |
Can't think of one good reason | |
To remain oh | |
We worked in the sugar fields | |
Up from New Orleans | |
It was ever-green | |
Up until the flood | |
You could call it an omen | |
Point ya where ya goin' | |
Set my compass North | |
I got winter in my blood | |
Acadian driftwood, | |
Gypsy tailwind | |
They call my home, | |
The land of snow | |
Canadian cold front, | |
Movin' in | |
What a way to ride, | |
Oh what a way to go | |
Sais tu, Acadie j'ai le mal do pays | |
Ta neige, Acadie, fait des larmes au soleil | |
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo | |
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo | |
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo | |
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo | |
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo |
