T he war was over and the spirit was broke n
The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew
W e stood on the cliffs and wat ched the ships
Slowly sinking to their re ndezvous
T hey signed a treaty and our home s were taken
Loved ones forsaken, they didn't giv e a damn
T ry to raise a family, end up the enemy
Over what went down on the p lains of Abraham
A cadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
They call my hom e the land of snow
C anadian cold front m ovin' in

T hen some returned to the motherland
The high command had them cas t away
A nd some stayed on to fini sh what they started
They never parted, they're just bu ilt that way
W e had kin livin' sout h of the borde r
They're a little older and they've bee n around
T hey wrote in a letter, life is a whol e lot better
So pull up your stakes, children and co me on down
A cadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
They call my hom e the land of snow
C anadian cold front m ovin' in

Fi fteen under zero when the day becam e a threa t
My clothes were wet and I was dre nched to the bone
B een out ice fishing, too much repetition
Make a man wanna leave the only ho me he's known
S ailed out of the Gulf headin' for Sa int Pierre
Nothin' to declare, all we had was gone
B roke down along the coast but what hurt the most
When the people there said, 'You better keep mo vin' on'
A cadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
They call my hom e the land of snow
C anadian cold front m ovin' in

E verlasting summer filled with ill- content
This government had us wal kin' in chains
T his isn't my turf, thi s ain't my season
Can't think of one good reason to remain
W e've worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
It was ever green up until the floods
Y ou could call it an omen, poin ts you where you're goin'
Set my compass north, I got wi nter in my blood
A cadian driftwood, g ypsy tail wind
They call my hom e the land of snow

S ais tu, Acadie j'ai le mal du pays
T a neige, Acadie, fait des larmes au soleil
