From the recording Timelines & Tragedies
Lyrics
I have a criminal's past
And I was sent off two New France
To raise a family and love, love eternally
Built a house on stone
And when the rain comes
We'll stand strong
I've been searching
For greener pastures
And the daughter of the king
Francois, Francois, will you stay
Until death comes to our door
Tell our children that I have tried, have tried
