Farewell to Nova Scotia

歌詞

The sun was sinking 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 Farewell to Nova Scotia, your 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 wish for me I grieve to leave my native home I grieve to leave my comrades all My parents whom I love so dear And the bonny, bonny lass I do adore Farewell to Nova Scotia, your 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 wish for me (Instrumental) I have three brothers and they are dressed Their arms are folded on their breast But a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the deep dark sea Farewell to Nova Scotia, your 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 wish for me The drums are beating, the wars do alarm My captain calls, I must obey Farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms It's early in the morning, I am bound far away Farewell to Nova Scotia, your 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 wish for me Farewell to Nova Scotia, your 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 wish for me
