• All Too Soon

(Men) This was a part of earth,
Where you could hold on to one another
This was a line of work
A-where the whole town was like your brother
...
(Women) Ah but now it's getting hard to stay, (Men) Now the children
The children move to a bigger city Move away
And there is really nothing you can say There is really nothing
But what a shame, and what a terrible pity That you can say, but
...
(Altos) Haven't got a notion (Sopranos & Men) Roll
How to stop the motion on
Rolling to the ocean down the
That's the magic potion bay
...
(Altos & Tenors) Haven't got a notion
How to stop the motion (Sopranos and Basses) Fundy
Rolling to the ocean to Biscay
Such a commotion when
...
(All) They say
The world is getting smaller every day
But to make it pay (Sopranos) Oh every day
Well everybody has to move away
So very far away
...
(Altos) Haven't got a notion (Sopranos & Men) Roll
How to stop the motion on
Rolling to the ocean down the
That's the magic potion bay
...
(Altos & Tenors) Haven't got a notion
How to stop the motion (Sopranos and Basses) Fundy
Rolling to the ocean to Biscay
Such a commotion when
...
(All) You know
How much a Maritimer hates to go
We know what we owe (Sopranos) And isn't it so, just how much we owe
We love the land that watched our parents grow To the land that watched our parents grow
When life could travel slow When life was oh
So deep and slow
(Men) Slow, and hard, but deep and proud
(All) Was the life we once were allowed
We knew our souls never could be bowed
...
(Altos and Basses) Dealing with the ocean
When you're Nova Scotian
Turns into a sign of (Sopranos and Tenors) You deal with what you know
Family devotion
...
(Women and Men separately) Dealing with the ocean
When you're Nova Scotian
Turns into a sign of
(Altos and Tenors) Family devotion
...
(Sopranos and Basses) Grampa was in the War
(All) And when he came back to Nova Scotia,
He had a bride in tow
Who had no English but Yes and No, sir
...
(Men) What made her leave her home (Women) Don't cast me off
To be with someone she hardly knew? Discourteously,
How she must have hated to feel alone For I have loved
She must have cried when the day was through You so long…
...
(All) No one's in doubt that the children singing
All too soon shall be women and men
And the canny old land
That we never could command,
It'll roll to the ocean again.
