lyrics

Woke up one morning
on the wrong side of the American War
I'm a Tory
can't live in New York anymore

Stood with my father
well we stood for King and Queen
Now we're fleeing
always hoped I'd see New Orleans

CHORUS:
But now I'm sailing on a sloop Novia Scotia bound
Old home lost and new home found
I won't feel right 'til my feet are on the ground
Old home lost and new home found

To honor our service
we won't want for seed or soil
Place where we're going
reap the harvest of our toil

And they tell me
hills they reach down kiss that shore
And we'll live there
where the Baddeck flows to the Bras d'Or

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Sailors take your post
and watch that rocky coast
'til you see Louisbourgh town
Wind fill that sail
and stay at our tail
push us always Northward on

Our lives adrift now
like that seaweed on that foam
Place where we're going
will we ever call it home
Ask my children
maybe twenty years or more
Was it worth it
what's a fair price you pay to lose a war?

CHORUS
