Farewell To Nova Scotia

歌詞

The sun was setting in the west The birds were singin' on every tree All of nature seemed inclined for to rest But still there was no rest for me Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be But when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me? I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all My aging parents who I always held so dear And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be But when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me? The drums are beating, the horns do alarm The captain calls and we must obey So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's early in the mornin' I am far, far away Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be But when I am far away Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me? I have three brothers and they're at rest Their arms are folded upon their breasts But a poor, simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be But when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
