lyrics

Acadian Girl
Lennie Gallant

When the sun goes down over the bay
There’s a mandolin starting to play
As the moon pulls on the evening tide
It's a beautiful world

I can feel a beat rise from the floor
In a step dance from a long time before
And I feel my heart opening wide
For my Acadian girl

There's a sound of a fiddle and steaming clams
And a full belly laugh from a fisherman
And I watch her move like a flag unfurled
She's a force of nature in a howling wind
The eye of a hurricane moving in
She’s all I want in this old world
She's my Acadian girl, my Acadian girl

Like a sad complainte from a tattered book
Or a tale of woe in a weathered look
There's a history in this old house
In a worried world

And I know she's never gonna let it go
So we learn how to dance on this old floor
Together we’ll work the tough times out
With my Acadian girl

There's love in a kiss, a pot of fricot
We fait l'amour au fait do do
When the sun resets the tide
We’ll walk the shoreline side by side
With my Acadian girl

There's a mystery and there is faith
In a way that I cannot translate
In the way that she can make me smile

And I don't know why I need her so
But I think that I lost her long ago
Now time has let me reconcile
With my Acadian girl
