Farewell to Nova Scotia Lyrics
The sun was setting in the west
And the birds were singing on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for a rest
But still there was no rest for me
Chorus:
So farewell to Nova Scotia, your sea-bound coast
To your mountains dark, to your hills and streams
I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me
The drums they do beat to war the alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, fare thee well
To your Nova Scotian charms
It’s early in the morning I am bound far away
I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my parents whom I love so dear
And the bonnie bonnie lassie that I do adore
Chorus:
So farewell to Nova Scotia, your sea-bound coast
To your mountains dark, to your hills and streams
I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me
For me
And the birds were singing on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for a rest
But still there was no rest for me
So farewell to Nova Scotia, your sea-bound coast
To your mountains dark, to your hills and streams
I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, fare thee well
To your Nova Scotian charms
It’s early in the morning I am bound far away
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my parents whom I love so dear
And the bonnie bonnie lassie that I do adore
So farewell to Nova Scotia, your sea-bound coast
To your mountains dark, to your hills and streams
I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me
For me
