He was an ordinary man
We raise a fine Acadian
He returned traitor in our midst
So we'll parade him through our street
Blame it on that Southern Girl
That sweet Delilah's Pearl
With yellow hair and eyes of blue
He really thought she would be true
Come away, dear
Setting out on the Allagash
All the way, dear
See how far our supplies will last
On the river we'll make a new home
On the river we'll be all alone
On the river we'll die on our own
And the mob won't bother us
He wore an unconvincing mask
As he was poring over maps
He knew his hiding place was found
We're gonna raze it to the ground
It was a rainy afternoon
He was surrounded in his room
We would finally take him down
Or slip the window out of town
Come away, dear
Setting out on the Allagash
All the way, dear
See how far our supplies will last
On the river we'll make a new home
On the river we'll be all alone
On the river we'll die on our own
And the mob won't bother us
In the wilderness
I'll hide my sadness
As I flee the hanging rope
Well, she's my blue sun in yellow sky
It's such madness
But the moon's subtle light
Gives a cheerful hope
Come away, dear
Setting out on the Allagash
All the way, dear
See how far our supplies will last
On the river we'll make a new home
On the river we'll be all alone
On the river we'll die on our own
And the mob won't murder us
