The war was over and the spirit was broke n
Th e hills were smokin' as the men withdrew
We stood on the cliffs and wat ched the ships
Slowly sinking to their re ndezvous
They signed a treaty and our home s were taken
Lo ved ones forsaken, they didn't giv e a damn
Try to raise a family, end up the enemy
Over what went down on the p lains of Abraham
Acadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
T hey call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front m ovin' in
What a way t o ride, oh, what a wa y to go

Then some returned to the motherland
Th e high command had them cas t away
And some stayed on to fini sh what they started
They never parted, they're just bu ilt that way
We had kin livin' sout h of the borde r
Th ey're a little older and they've bee n around
They wrote in a letter, life is a whol e lot better
So pull up your stakes, children and co me on down
Acadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
T hey call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front m ovin' in
What a way t o ride, oh, what a wa y to go

Fifteen under zero when the day becam e a threa t
My clothes were wet and I was dre nched to the bone
Been out ice fishing, too much repetition
Make a man wanna leave the only ho me he's known
Sailed out of the Gulf headin' for Sa int Pierre
No thin' 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 mo vin' on'
Acadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
T hey call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front m ovin' in
What a way t o ride, oh, what a wa y to go
E Esus4onB B7/AonC# F#m/E Esus4onB B7/AonC# F#m
Everlasting summer filled with ill- content
Th is government had us wal kin' in chains
This isn't my turf, thi s ain't my season
Can't think of one good reason to remain
We've worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
It was ever green up until the floods
You could call it an omen, poin ts you where you're goin'
Set my compass north, I got wi nter in my blood
Acadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
T hey call my home the land of snow
Canadian cold front m ovin' in
What a way t o ride, oh, what a wa y to go
E Esus4onB B7/AonC# F#m/E Esus4onB B7/AonC# F#m
Sais tu, Acadie j'ai le mal du pays
Ta neige, Acadie, fait des larmes au soleil
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle ooh
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle ooh
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle ooh
