• Nova Scotia Farewell

The sun was setting in the west,
The birds they sang on every tree.
All nature was inclined for a rest
But still there was no rest for me.

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast,
let your mountains dark and dreary be.
For when I am far away on your 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 them parents whom I've held so dear,
And the bonnie, bonnie lassie who I do adore.

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast,
let your mountains dark and dreary be.
For when I am far away on your briny ocean tossed,
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?

The drums do beat and the wars to alarm,
Captain's call I must obey.
Farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms,
It's early in the morning I'm far, far away.

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast,
let your mountains dark and dreary be.
For when I am far away on your 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 breast.
But a poor simple sailor just like me,
Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea.

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast,
let your mountains dark and dreary be.
For when I am far away on your briny ocean tossed,
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
