Song information On this page you can find the lyrics of the song Farewell to Nova Scotia, artist - Tommy Makem. Album song Legendary Tommy Makem Collection, in the genre Кельтская музыкаFarewell to Nova Scotia |
| The sun was setting in the west |
| The birds were singing on ev’ry tree |
| All nature seemed inclined for the rest |
| But still there was no rest for me |
| Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast |
| Let your mountains dark and dreary be |
| And when I am far away on the briny oceans tossed |
| Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me? |
| I grieve to leave my native land |
| I grieve to leave my comrades all |
| (And) my aged parents whom I always held so dear |
| And the bonnie, bonnie lass (that) I do adore |
| The drums are beating the wars do alarm |
| The captain calls, we must obey |
| So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia’s charms |
| For it’s early in the morning I am far, far away |
| I have three brothers and they (are) at rest |
| Their arms are folded upon their breast |
| But a poor simple sailor just like me |
| Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea |
