Acadian Driftwood (阿卡迪亚的浮木) - The Band (乐队)[00:00:00]
The war was over and the spirit was broken[00:00:15]
The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew[00:00:21]
We stood on the cliffs[00:00:27]
Oh and watched the ships[00:00:29]
Slowly sinking to their rendezvous[00:00:33]
They signed a treaty and our homes were taken[00:00:39]
Loved ones forsaken[00:00:45]
They didn't give a damn[00:00:47]
Try'n' to raise a family[00:00:51]
End up the enemy[00:00:54]
Over what went down on the plains of Abraham[00:00:57]
Acadian driftwood[00:01:04]
Gypsy tail wind[00:01:06]
They call my home the land of snow[00:01:10]
Canadian cold front movin' in[00:01:16]
What a way to ride[00:01:22]
Oh what a way to go[00:01:24]
Then some returned to the motherland[00:01:40]
The high command had them cast away[00:01:46]
And some stayed on to finish what they started[00:01:53]
They never parted[00:01:59]
They're just built that way[00:02:01]
We had kin livin' south of the border[00:02:05]
They're a little older and they've been around[00:02:11]
They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better[00:02:17]
So pull up your stakes children and come on down[00:02:23]
Acadian driftwood[00:02:29]
Gypsy tail wind[00:02:31]
They call my home the land of snow[00:02:35]
Canadian cold front movin' in[00:02:41]
What a way to ride[00:02:47]
Oh what a way to go[00:02:49]
Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat[00:03:05]
My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone[00:03:12]
Been out ice fishing too much repetition[00:03:18]
Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known[00:03:24]
Sailed out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre[00:03:30]
Nothin' to declare[00:03:36]
All we had was gone[00:03:38]
Broke down along the coast[00:03:42]
But what hurt the most[00:03:45]
When the people there said[00:03:48]
You better keep movin' on[00:03:50]
Acadian driftwood[00:03:55]
Gypsy tail wind[00:03:57]
They call my home the land of snow[00:04:01]
Canadian cold front movin' in[00:04:07]
What a way to ride[00:04:13]
Oh what a way to go[00:04:15]
Everlasting summer filled with ill content[00:04:31]
This government had us walkin' in chains[00:04:37]
This isn't my turf[00:04:44]
This ain't my season[00:04:46]
Can't think of one good reason to remain[00:04:50]
We worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans[00:04:56]
It was ever green up until the floods[00:05:02]
You could call it an omen[00:05:08]
Points ya where you're goin'[00:05:11]
Set my compass north[00:05:14]
I got winter in my blood[00:05:16]
Acadian driftwood[00:05:20]
Gypsy tail wind[00:05:23]
They call my home the land of snow[00:05:27]
Canadian cold front movin' in[00:05:33]
What a way to ride[00:05:39]
Ah what a way to go[00:05:40]
Sais tu acadie j'ai le mal do pays[00:05:57]
Ta neige acadie fait des larmes au soleil[00:06:03]
J'arrive acadie teedle um teedle um teedle oo[00:06:09]
J'arrive acadie teedle um teedle um teedle oo[00:06:15]
J'arrive acadie teedle um teedle um teedle oo[00:06:21]
J'arrive acadie teedle um teedle um teedle oo[00:06:28]
J'arrive acadie[00:06:34]
