Nova Scotia Farewell |
| The sun was setting in the west |
| The birds were singing on every tree |
| All nature seemed inclined to rest |
| But still there was no rest for me |
| Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast |
| Let your mountains dark and dreary be |
| For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed |
| Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? |
| I grieve to leave my native land |
| I grieve to leave my comrads all |
| And my parents whom I love so dear |
| And th bonnie, bonnie lass/lad that I do adore |
| Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast |
| Let your mountains dark and dreary be |
| For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed |
| Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? |
| The drums they do beat and the wars to alarm |
| The captain calls, and I must obey |
| So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia’s charms |
| For it’s early in the morning and I’m far, far away |
| Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast |
| Let your mountains dark and dreary be |
| For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed |
| Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? |
| I have three brothers and they are at rest |
| Their hands are folded on their breast |
| But a poor simple sailor just like me |
| Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea |
| Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast |
| Let your mountains dark and dreary be |
| For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed |
| Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? |
