George Donaldson

Halifax Town

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.
