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 the enemy Over what went down on the plains of Abraham CHORUS Acadian driftwood Gypsy tail wind They call my home the land of snow Canadian cold front movin' in Oh, 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've been around They wrote a letter, life here is a whole lot better So pull up your stakes, children and come on down CHORUS Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone Been out ice fishing, too much repetition Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known Sailing out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre Nothin' to declare All we had was gone Broke down along the coast But what hurt the most When the people there said "You better keep movin' on" Everlasting summer filled with ill-content This government had us walkin' in chains This isn't my turf This ain't my season Can't think of one good reason to remain I've worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans It was evergreen up until the floods You could call it an omen Points you where you're goin' Set my compass north I got winter in my blood CHORUS Sais tu, Acadia, j'ai le mal du pays Ta neige, Acadia, fait des larmes au soleil J'arrive, Acadia, j'ai le mal du pays Ta neige, Acadia, fait des larmes au soleil Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
