Wake Up
Wake up, wake up
The Goddamns are coming 1
To steal the harvest
Wake up, wake up
Acadian men
To save the village
My great-great-grandfather
Came from Brittany
The blood of my family
Has wet Acadia
And now, the accursed ones are coming
To chase us away like beasts
To destroy families
To throw us all to the wind
Wake up, wake up
The Goddamns are coming
To steal the harvest
Wake up, wake up
Acadian men
To save the village
I heard some talk about
Going up with Beausoleil 2
To take arms
Defeat the accursed ones
I heard some talk about
Going to Louisiana
To find some good peace
Over there in Louisiana
Wake up, wake up
The Goddamns are coming
To steal the harvest
Wake up, wake up
Acadian men
To save the village
I've seen my poor father
He was made prisoner
While my mother, my dear mother
Was bawling
I've seen my beautiful house
Being put on fire
And I remained an orphan
An orphan of Acadia
Wake up, wake up
The Goddamns are coming
To steal the harvest
Wake up, wake up
Acadian men
To save the village
Wake up, wake up
The Goddamns are coming
To steal the children
- 1. Acadians used to refer to British soldiers as 'Goddams', because of the frequency at which they used the word.
