Abby and I honeymooned in Nova Scotia. We spent a week driving and camping, and it was the greatest vacation ever. When our ten year anniversary came around, we took the kids and followed the same path. Every night I'd write a few lines about where we went, and at the end of the trip I had this record.
lyrics
Get off the boat and bang a left,
was the only plan we had.
It was a clockwise, Yarmouth. roundabout way,
we were headed for Halifax.
When the radio plays Flogging Molly and Pogues,
it’s the wrong island, I’d have swore.
When the Promise Ring plays it’s our honeymoon again,
and it’s still 2004.
Oo oo, vous etes, mon amore.
Nova Scotia tour!
A miracle that we found another,
great sunset at The Cove.
Winds blew us to a Winsor lunch,
and Victoria Park, Truro.
Alcohol ban in the Five Islands,
like anyone ever could.
Gas it up again in Antigonish,
then light it up in Linwood.
Oo oo, vous etes, mon amore.
Nova Scotia tour!
Isaac’s Harbor ferry, it must’ve sunk,
Inverness has buried my ring.
Something’s gotta’ get us through a St. Mary’s rain,
Rare Bird’s got just the thing.
Celtic Corner and the Triangle Pub,
then a hotel for a break.
Seals at Kejimkujik park,
Then crash at Darlin Lake.
Oo oo, vous etes, mon amore.
Nova Scotia tour!
Oo oui, je suis desoles.
That’s all I can afford!
I’ll see you again in 2024.
I’ll see you again in 2024.
