quebecois - schooner fare lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my name is levesque, i’m a son of quebec
i’m a farmer and a frenchman by birth
i am used to hard work and the sun on my neck
and i raised what i could from the earth
but now i’m a weaver in some rich man’s mill
making blankets to earn a week’s pay;
and it’s six days a week, dawn to dark, in this h-ll
but i’m goin’ back home come someday

[verse 2]
i’m giselle corriveau and i’m joining my beau
in the spring when the log drive is through
he’s a woodsman you know, and i do love him so
and for him there’s not much i won’t do
so i sweat all day long in this shoe factory
to put a few dollars away
to save toward a farm in our own country
cause we’re goin’ back home come someday

[chorus]
it is work, it is family, it’s church, it is god
it is why we came here to this land
to make a new life and be what we are–
the proud and the strong quebecois
the proud and the strong quebecois

[verse 3]
i’m gerard fournier and i cut wood all day
in the spring i am taking a wife
we’ll go back to the land, it’s our forefathers’ way
to nurture the earth is our life
and on sat-rday nights we will dance and we’ll sing
raise a gl-ss to our family and friends
and it’s sunday to church and the solace it brings
and on monday we’ll start once again

[chorus]
it is work, it is family, it’s church, it is god
it is why we came here to this land
to make a new life and be what we are–
the proud and the strong quebecois
the proud and the strong quebecois

[verse 4]
oh, we are the folk who quietly toil
in this new land of hope we have found
in the woods, on the sea, in the hard, rocky soil
in the factories that clutter the towns
and we raised up cathedrals to the glory of god
they were built of our blood and our tears
and we made it through hard times and hunger and flood
and we’ll be here for thousands of years

[chorus]
it is work, it is family, it’s church, it is god
it is why we came here to this land
to make a new life and be what we are–
the proud and the strong quebecois
the proud and the strong quebecois

c’est le travail, c’est la famille, c’est l’eglise, c’est dieu
it is why we came here to this land
to make a new life and be what we are–
the proud and the strong quebecois
the proud and the strong quebecois
the proud and the strong quebecois
the proud and the strong quebecois
