Acadian Driftwood

Acadian Driftwood - Zachary Richard/Céline Dion (席琳·迪翁)

The war was over

And the spirit was broken

The hills were smokin'

As the men withhdrew

We stood on the cliffs

Oh and watched the ships

Slowly sinking to their rendezvous

They signed a treaty

And our homes were taken

Loved ones forsaken

They didn't give a damn

Try'n' to raise a family

End up the enemy

Over what went down

On the plains of Abraham

Acadian driftwood

Gypsy tail wind

They call my home the land of snow

Canadian cold front movin' in

What a way to ride

Oh what a way to go

Sailing out of the gulf headin'

For Saint Pierre

Nothin' to declare

Everything we had was gone

Broke down along the coast

But what hurt the most

When the people there said

"You had better move on"

Acadian driftwood

Gypsy tail wind

They call my home the land of snow

Canadian cold front movin' in

What a way to ride

Oh what a way to go

I've worked in the fields down

In New Orleans

It was ever green up until the floods

You could call it an omen

Points to where you're goin'

Set my compass north

I got winter in my blood

Acadian driftwood

Gypsy tail wind

They call my home the land of snow

Canadian cold front movin' in

What a way to ride

Oh what a way to go
