Bilingual
My wife and me took a home by the sea
In the hopes we'd be raising some children
When the snow was on the pine
We'd come down from the maritime
To the oaks and the pine of New England
Oh, the winter was hard
And I could not find a job
And the factory closed in December
Old folks round the town
Know that they're feeling down
With the worst winter they could remember
Nelson Maguire, he's the same age as I
Though in looks he appears to be older
He returned to a store
From the Indo-China War
And his heart is the heart of a soldier
(Oh yes)
And some man in the
Didn't know da da di etc
Shame, Communism
You know... desecrate the flag
Is to cross the Canadian border
Da da da etc
Buried deep in his shoulder
Ah momma
I know
