Farewell to Nova Scotia, the 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 and a wish for me? [ The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed to be at rest But still there was no rest for me. [ Refrain: Farewell to Nova Scotia, the 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 and a wish for me? [ I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents whom I held so dear And the bonnie, bonnie lassie that I do adore. [ Refrain: Farewell to Nova Scotia, you 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 and a wish for me? [ The drums they do beat and the wars to 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. [ Refrain: Farewell to Nova Scotia, you 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 and a wish for me? [ I have two brothers and they are at rest Their arms are folded on their chest But a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the big dark sea. [ Refrain: Farewell to Nova Scotia, you 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 and a wish for me?
