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
