FAREWELL TO NOVA SCOTIA lyrics
(The Version from Wicked Tinkers)
The Sun was setting in the west
The Birds were singing on every tree
All Nature seemed inclined to 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'm 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 comrads all
And my parents whom I held so dear
And the bonnie, bonnie lass I do adore.
(Repeat Chorus)
The drums do beat, the wars do alarm
My captain calls, I must obey
So farewell, fairwell to Nova Scotia's charms
It's early in the morning I am far, far away.
(Repeat Chorus)
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.
(Repeat Chorus. Then the last phrase is: "For when I'm far away, will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?)
