lirik lagu the band - acadian driftwood - concert version

[spoken intro: robbie robertson]
we’re gonna do another canadian song. we’re gonna bring out some of the canadians to help us do it

[verse 1: richard manuel]
the war was over and the spirit was broken
the hills were smokin’ as a man went through
he stood on a cliff and watched the ships
slowly sinking to their rendesvouz

[verse 2: levon helm]
they signed a treaty and our homes were taken
our loved ones forsaken, they didn’t give a d~mn
try to raise a family, end up a enemy
over what went down on the plains of abraham

[verse 3: richard manuel]
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
[verse 4: levon helm]
we had kin living south of the border
they’re a little older and they’ve been around
they wrote in a letter, “life is a whole lot better
so pull your skates, children, and come on down”

[chorus: levon helm, richard manuel, rick danko, joni mitch~ll, neil young]
acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind
they call my home the land of snow
canadian cold front movin’ in
what a way to ride, oh, what a way to go

[verse 5: rick danko]
fifty under zero when the day became a threat
my clothes were wet and i was drenched to the bone
i been out ice fishing, oh, too much repetition
make a man wanna leave the only home he’s known

[verse 6: richard manuel, rick danko]
sailed out of the gulf, headin’ for st. pierre
nothin’ to declare, all we had was gone
broke down along the coast, oh, what hurt the most
when the people there said, “you gotta keep moving on and on”

[chorus: levon helm, richard manuel, rick danko, joni mitch~ll, neil young]
acadian driftwood, gypsy tailwind
they call my home the land of snow
canadian cold front moving in
what a way to ride, oh, what a way to go
[verse 7: richard manuel]
everlasting summer filled with ill contempt
this government had us walkin’ in chains
this ain’t my turn, this ain’t my season
can’t think of one good reason to remain

[verse 8: levon helm]
they worked in the sugar fields up from new orleans
it was evergreen up until the flood
you could call it an omen, i’ll point you where you’re goin’
i set my compass north, i got winter in my blood

[verse 9: rick danko]
sais tu, acadie j’ai le mal du pays
ta neige, acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
j’arrive acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
j’arrive acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo
