Lightfoot, Gordon - Farewell To Nova Scotia Lyrics
The sun was setting in the west
The birds were singing on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for rest
But still there was no rest for me
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me
I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my aging parents whom I've always hold so dear
And the bonny, bonny lass that I do adore
Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea bound coast
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me
The drums they do beat and the wars do alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms
For it's early in the morning I am far, far away
Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me
I have three brothers and they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their breast
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
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me
Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me
