traditional transcriptions - farewell to nova scotia lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
(oh) the sun was setting in the west
the birds were singing on every tree
all nature seemed inclined for to rest
but still there was no rest for me

[chorus]
farewell to nova scotia, your sea+bound 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 or a wish for me?

[verse 2]
(oh) 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 bound far away

[chorus]
farewell to nova scotia, your sea+bound 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 or a wish for me?

[verse 3]
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 lass that i do adore
[chorus]
farewell to nova scotia, your sea+bound 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 or a wish for me?

[verse 4]
i have three brothers, they are at rest
their arms are folded upon their chests
but a poor simple sailor just like me
must be tossed and driven on the deep blue sea

[chorus]
farewell to nova scotia, your sea+bound 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 or a wish for me?
