Halifax Town Lyrics by George donaldson

The White Rose

0

My Catherine the hardest thing that I found
Was to board that great ship that was Canada Bound
The hector at sail from our own rugged shore
My family and country to see nevermore
Our crops were destroyed and our cattle dispersed
Their punishment severe, well planned and rehearsed
With cold-blooded cruelty and hearts filled with hate
Reckless and lawless they delivered our fate
Chorus
With the wind cutting through me, I’m surrounded by tears
We all tell the same stories of torture and fear
In Halifax Town we should dock any day
But my hearts with my family and where they now lay
Now our only crime was to fight and defend
Our own native Scotland our land ‘til the end
The plan of the crown was to scatter the clans
To kill and betray and possess all the lands
Chorus
And they forced us with famine and torture to run
To leave our own country and never return
They denied us our culture, our language, our dress
They’ve taken the land where our ancestors rest
They murdered you all when they burned down our home
I fought, but in vain, now I’m left on my own
Now I’ve sailed all the ocean a new land to live
But their names and their dates I’ll never forget
Chorus x2
