COME BACK FOR ME

written by Michelle Campagne

 

 

I married young

I married really young

He had land

My father had four sons

 

Then a missionary came to their door one day

And lured them all away

To Canada

I didn't cry as I watched them sail away

 

And I will wait

By the river

Until they come back for me

Until they come back for me

 

Words on paper 

Cross the sea

They don't do much

To comfort me

 

Hundreds caught the fever on the way

And Henri died, did their missionary pray?

I cried oceans that day, an ocean away

Ten cents an acre and a life to pay

 

And I will wait

By the river

Until they come back for me

Until they come back for me

 

 

from Nouvelle-France
