COME BACK FOR ME
written by Michelle Campagne
I married young
I married really young
He had land
My father had four sons
Then a missionary came to their door one day
And lured them all away
To Canada
I didn't cry as I watched them sail away
And I will wait
By the river
Until they come back for me
Until they come back for me
Words on paper
Cross the sea
They don't do much
To comfort me
Hundreds caught the fever on the way
And Henri died, did their missionary pray?
I cried oceans that day, an ocean away
Ten cents an acre and a life to pay
And I will wait
By the river
Until they come back for me
Until they come back for me
from Nouvelle-France
