The war was over and the spirit was brokenThe hills were smokin' as the men withdrewWe 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 Abraham Acadian 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 partedLetras de cancionesThey'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 want to 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 go From Letras Mania
