Lyrics:
The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed inclined to rest But still there was no rest for me Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the brimy 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, and I must obey So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the brimy 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 parents, whom I loved so dear And the bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? I have three brothers and they are at rest Their hands are folded on their chests But a poor and simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
