<br />
 The war was over and the spirit was broken<br />
<br />
Dm9Ebmaj9Gm7<br />
<br />
 The hills were smokin` as the men withdrew<br />
<br />
F<br />
<br />
 We stood on the cliffs<br />
<br />
C/G A9<br />
<br />
 Oh, and watched the ships<br />
<br />
Bb Gm7 <br />
<br />
 Slowly sinking to their rendezvous<br />
<br />
F C9 <br />
<br />
 They signed a treaty and our homes were taken<br />
<br />
Dm9 Ebmaj9<br />
<br />
 Loved ones forsaken<br />
<br />
 Gm7<br />
<br />
 They didn`t give a damn<br />
<br />
F <br />
<br />
 Try`n` to raise a family<br />
<br />
C/G A9 <br />
<br />
 End up the enemy<br />
<br />
BbGm7 <br />
<br />
 Over what went down on the plains of Abraham (*)<br />
<br />

Acadian driftwood<br />
<br />
Gm7C7<br />
<br />
Gypsy tail wind<br />
<br />
Bb/DF/C BbGm7<br />
<br />
They call my home the land of snow<br />
<br />
F BbGm7 C7<br />
<br />
Canadian cold frontmovin` in<br />
<br />
Bb/D F/C <br />
<br />
What a way to ride<br />
<br />
BbDm7/AGm7 C7 F<br />
<br />
Oh, what a way to go<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 Then some returned to the motherland<br />
<br />
 The high command had them cast away<br />
<br />
And some stayed on to finish what they started<br />
<br />
 They never parted<br />
<br />
 They`re just built that way<br />
<br />
 We had kin livin` south of the border<br />
<br />
 They`re a little older and they`ve been around<br />
<br />
 They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better<br />
<br />
 So pull up your stakes, children and come on down<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat<br />
<br />
 My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone<br />
<br />
 Been out ice fishing, too much repetition<br />
<br />
 Make a man wanna leave the only home he`s known<br />
<br />
 Sailing out of the gulf headin` for Saint Pierre<br />
<br />
 Nothin` to declare<br />
<br />
 All we had was gone<br />
<br />
 Broke down along the coast<br />
<br />
 But what hurt the most<br />
<br />
 When the people there said<br />
<br />
 "You better keep movin` on"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 Everlasting summer filled with ill-content<br />
<br />
 This government had us walkin` in chains<br />
<br />
 This isn`t my turf<br />
<br />
 This ain`t my season<br />
<br />
 Can`t think of one good reason to remain<br />
<br />
 I`ve worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans<br />
<br />
 It was ever green up until the floods<br />
<br />
 You could call it an omen<br />
<br />
 Points ya where you`re goin`<br />
<br />
 Set my compass north<br />
<br />
 I got winter in my blood<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
 Acadian driftwood<br />
<br />
 Gypsy tail wind<br />
<br />
 They call my home the land of snow<br />
<br />
 Canadian cold front movin` in<br />
<br />
 What a way to ride<br />
<br />
 Ah, what a way to go<br />
