[00:00.00]Acadian Driftwood - The Band
[00:15.63]The war was over and the spirit was broken
[00:19.92]
[00:21.55]The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew
[00:25.31]
[00:27.63]We stood on the cliffs
[00:29.43]Oh and watched the ships
[00:31.95]
[00:33.72]Slowly sinking to their rendezvous
[00:37.61]
[00:39.57]They signed a treaty and our homes were taken
[00:44.46]
[00:45.61]Loved ones forsaken
[00:47.43]They didn't give a damn
[00:49.64]
[00:51.69]Try'n' to raise a family
[00:53.76]
[00:54.76]End up the enemy

[01:27.99]
[01:40.82]Then some returned to the motherland
[01:45.22]
[01:46.90]The high command had them cast away
[01:50.95]
[01:53.08]And some stayed on to finish what they started
[01:57.68]
[01:59.06]They never parted
[02:00.68]
[02:01.22]They're just built that way
[02:02.89]
[02:05.41]We had kin livin' south of the border
[02:09.95]
[02:11.12]They're a little older and they've been around
[02:15.06]
[02:17.18]They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better
[02:21.47]

[03:05.94]Fifteen under zero when the day became a threat
[03:10.65]
[03:12.37]My clothes were wet and I was drenched to the bone
[03:16.38]
[03:18.33]Been out ice fishing too much repetition
[03:23.05]
[03:24.34]Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known
[03:28.54]
[03:30.47]Sailed out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre
[03:34.94]
[03:36.67]Nothin' to declare
[03:38.09]
[03:38.60]All we had was gone
[03:40.72]
[03:42.76]Broke down along the coast
[03:44.40]
[03:45.47]But what hurt the most
[03:47.54]
[03:48.82]When the people there said

[04:44.09]This isn't my turf
[04:45.70]
[04:46.91]This ain't my season
[04:48.85]
[04:50.10]Can't think of one good reason to remain
[04:54.04]
[04:56.01]We worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans
[05:01.05]
[05:02.34]It was ever green up until the floods
[05:06.51]
