My pretty Madelaine, I’ll keep fighting till the end of this madness
Like I told you, when they stole you away from me
I left my eastern shore with the North Star over my shoulder
They think they won the war but this battle is far from over
I lost you under an Acadian sunrise
I watched the ship carry you over the horizon
I sold my soul to get here, looking for you
Forever searching under the Cajun moon
My precious Madelaine I’ve been sailing on this ocean
I’m weak and getting tired but your fire still guides me
?And when I reach the shore of Louisiana we’ll be together
An oath to you I swore to be your man through whatever
My sleepy Madelaine, I’ll only see you when you’re dreaming…
