[Verse 1]
The sun was settin' in the west
The birds were singin' on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for 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 am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
[Verse 2]
I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comradеs all
And my aged parents whom I always held so dеar
And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore
[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?
[Verse 3]
The drums do beat, and the wars do alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charm
For it's earl-eye in the mornin', I am far, far away
The sun was settin' in the west
The birds were singin' on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for 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 am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
[Verse 2]
I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comradеs all
And my aged parents whom I always held so dеar
And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore
[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?
[Verse 3]
The drums do beat, and the wars do alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charm
For it's earl-eye in the mornin', I am far, far away
