oh, what a way to go
then some returned to the motherland
the high command had them cast away
and some stayed on to finish what they started
they never parted
they’re just built that way
we had kin livin’ south of the border
they’re a little older and they’ve been around
they wrote a letter life is a whole lot better
so pull up your stakes, children and come on down
fifteen under zero when the day became a threat
my clothes were wet and i was drenched to the bone
been out ice fishing, too much repet-tion
make a man wanna leave the only home he’s known
sailing out of the gulf headin’ for saint pierre
nothin’ to declare
all we had was gone
broke down along the coast
but what hurt the most
when the people there said
“you better keep movin’ on”
everlasting summer filled with ill-content
this government had us walkin’ in chains
this isn’t my turf
this ain’t my season
can’t think of one good reason to remain
i’ve worked in the sugar fields up from new orleans
it was ever green up until the floods
you could call it an omen
points ya where you’re goin’
set my comp-ss 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
ah, what a way to go

ta neige, acadie, fait des larmes au soleil
[your snow, acadia, makes tears in the sun (or for the sun)]

[i am arriving acadia (or i am coming acadia)]
