Farewell to Nova Scotia
you sea bound 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 sun was setting
in the west..
The birds were singing
on every tree
All nature seemed
inclined for to rest
But still there was
no rest for me...
{But still there was
no rest for me...}

I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my parents
whom I held so dear
And my bonny, bonny lassie
that I loved so well...
{And my bonny, bonny lassie
that I loved so well...}

The drums do beat
and the wars do alarm...
My Captain calls
I must obey..
So farewell, farewell
to Nova Scotia's charm
For it's early in the morning
I'll be far, far away...

I have three brothers
and they are at rest
Their arms are folded
on their breasts
But a poor and simple sailor
just like me
Must be tossed
and driven on the dark, blue sea...
{Must be tossed
and driven on the dark, blue sea...}
