Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] [Outro] 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
