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
Theyre just built that way
We had kin livin south of the border
Theyre a little older and theyve 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 repetition
Make a man wanna leave the only home hes 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 isnt my turf
This aint my season
Cant think of one good reason to remain
Ive 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 youre 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
Ah, what a way to go
