Farewell to Nova Scotia
Your seabound coast
Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
The sun was setting in the west
And a small bird sang on every tree.
All nature was inclined ot take a rest
But There never is no rest no peace for me.
Farewell to Nova Scotia
Your seabound coast
Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
The drums they do beat and the wars to alarm,
The captain calls, I must obey.
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms,
For it's early in the morning and I'm far, far away.
Farewell to Nova Scotia
Your seabound coast
Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
I grieve to leave my native land,
I grieve to leave my comrades all,
And my aging parents whom I've always loved so dear,
And the bonnie, bonnie lass/lad that I do adore.
Farewell to Nova Scotia
Your seabound coast
Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
I had three brothers and they're at rest
Their arms are folded on their breasts.
So farewell, farewell to Scotia's green shore
And it's early in the morning and I'm far far away
Farewell to Nova Scotia
Your seabound coast
Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
Farewell to Nova Scotia
Your seabound coast
Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
