• Farewell to Nova Scotia

The sun was setting in the west
The birds were singing on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for to rest
Why can't there be no rest for me.

[chorus]
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast,
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
When I’m far away, on the briny ocean tossed,
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?

I grieve to leave my native home
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And for aged parents whom I always loved so well
And the bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore.

[chorus]

The drums do beat and the horns do alarm
My captain calls; we must obey
Farewell, fare thee well to you Nova Scotia’s charms
For it’s early in the morning I am bound far away

[chorus]

I have three brothers but they are at rest.
Their arms are folded on their breast.
But a poor and simple sailor lad just like me
Must be tossed and turned on the cold north sea.

[chorus x2]
