FAREWELL TO NOVA SCOTIA

by Anne Murray

The sun was setting in the west

The birds were singing on every tree

All nature seemed inclined for a rest

But still there was no rest for me

CHORUS:

Farewell to Nova Scotia,the seabound coast

Let your mountains dark and dreary be

For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed

Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me

REPEAT CHORUS

I grieve to leave my native land

I grieve to leave my comrades all

And my parents whom I held so dear

And the bonny bonny lass that I do adore

REPEAT CHORUS

The drums they do beat and the wars do alarm

The captains call.we must obey

So farewell,farewell to Nova Scotia's charms

For its early in the morning and I an far far away

REPEAT CHORUS

I have three brothers and that are at rest

Their arms are folded on their breasts

But a poor simple sailor just like me

Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea

REPEAT CHORUS
