Coming Home Back in the days when Tignish was young 7 799 the first settlers had come Acadian families landed by sea On an Island where they wanted to live free 787 7 the Irish folk came, followed by Scotchmen With strong sense of family, and pride in their names Working the soil and fishing the sea Together they created a proud history Harnessing the wealth of the sea and the plain They labored for days in the sun and the rain We are the reapers of the seeds that were sown Thank Cod for providing our family homes We are a people sharing culture and race After two hundred years in A proud Island place Passing down stories and singing old songs To the tune of the fiddle, toe-tap-along Each generation have lived much the same Greeting each other and calling ones name When you come back from wherever you roam Handshakes and smiles will welcome you home. 200
