Farewell To Nova Scotia

Lyrics

[Chorus] Farewell to Nova Scotia The sea bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I am far away On the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me [Verse 1] The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed to be at rest But alas, there was no rest for me [Chorus] Farewell to Nova Scotia The sea bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I am far away On the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me [Verse 2] I grieve to leave my native home I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents Whom I love so dear And the bonny bonny lass I do adore [Chorus] Farewell to Nova Scotia The sea bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I am far away On the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me [Verse 3] The drums do beat And the horns do alarm My captain calls, I must obey Farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's early in the morning I am bound far away [Chorus] Farewell to Nova Scotia The sea bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I am far away On the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me [Verse 4] I have three brothers And they are at rest Their arms are folded on their chest But a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and turned In the deep dark sea [Chorus] Farewell to Nova Scotia The sea bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I am far away On the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me [Chorus] Farewell to Nova Scotia The sea bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I am far away On the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me
