Farewell 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 |
