What a way to ride
Bb dm7/a gm7 c7 f
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

The Band was a Canadian-American rock group formed in Toronto in 1967 and disbanded in 1976, before reuniting in 1983 until 1999. The original lineup consisted of Robbie Robertson (guitar), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Levon Helm. Considered one of the most influential rock bands in American music, The Band rose to fame in the 1970s with a folk-rock sound characterized by complex orchestral arrangements and poetic lyrics. Their debut album, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), is considered a classic of the genre and helped define the sound of American music in the 1970s. Among The Band's most representative songs are "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The band collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan, with whom they toured in the 1960s and 1970s. The deaths of Richard Manuel in 1980 and Levon Helm in 2012 marked the end of an era for The Band.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
