Farewell to Nova Scotia
The sun was setting
In the West
The birds were singin'
On every tree
All nature seemed
Inclined for a 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 comrades all
And my aged parents
Whom I always held so dear
And my bonny, bonny lassie
That I do a-dore
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 do beat
And the wars do alarm
My Captain calls
We must obey
So farewell, fare thee well
To your Nova Scotia's Charms
For it's early in the morning
I'll be 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 arms are folded
On their breasts
But a poor and 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
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
In the West
The birds were singin'
On every tree
All nature seemed
Inclined for a 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 comrades all
And my aged parents
Whom I always held so dear
And my bonny, bonny lassie
That I do a-dore
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 do beat
And the wars do alarm
My Captain calls
We must obey
So farewell, fare thee well
To your Nova Scotia's Charms
For it's early in the morning
I'll be 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 arms are folded
On their breasts
But a poor and 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
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
