Band, The - Acadian Driftwood слова песни
The war was over and the spirit was broken The hills were smokin` as the men withhdrew We stood on the cliffsOh, and watched the shipsSlowly sinking to their rendezvousThey signed a treaty and our homes were takenLoved ones forsakenThey didn`t give a damnTry`n` to raise a familyEnd up the enemyOver what went down on the plains of AbrahamAcadian driftwoodGypsy tail windThey call my home the land of snowCanadian cold front movin` inWhat a way to rideOh, what a way to goThen some returned to the motherlandThe high command had them cast awayAnd some stayed on to finish what they startedThey never partedThey`re just built that wayWe had kin livin` south of the borderThey`re a little older and they`ve been aroundThey wrote a letter life is a whole lot betterSo pull up your stakes, children and come on downFifteen under zero when the day became a threatMy clothes were wet and I was drenched to the boneBeen out ice fishing, too much repetitionMake a man wanna leave the only home he`s knownSailing out of the gulf headin` for Saint PierreNothin` to declareAll we had was goneBroke down along the coastBut what hurt the mostWhen the people there said"You better keep movin` on"Everlasting summer filled with ill-contentThis government had us walkin` in chainsThis isn`t my turfThis ain`t my seasonCan`t think of one good reason to remainI`ve worked in the sugar fields up from New OrleansIt was ever green up until the floodsYou could call it an omenPoints ya where you`re goin`Set my compass northI got winter in my bloodAcadian driftwoodGypsy tail windThey call my home the land of snowCanadian cold front movin` inWhat a way to rideAh, what a way to goSais tu, A-ca-di-e j`ai le mal du pays[You know, Acadia, I long for the country (I am homesick)]Ta neige, Acadie,fait des larmes au soleil[Your snow, Acadia, makes tears in the sun (or for the sun)]J`arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle ooh[I am arriving Acadia (or I am coming Acadia)]
