Farewell To Nova Scotia Lyrics

I The sun was setting in the west and a small bird sang on every tree. All nature was inclined ot take a rest But There never is no rest no peace for me. Chorus Farewell to Nova Scotia Your seabound coast Though your mountains dark and dreary be. And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed, Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me II The drums do roll and the war goes on And the captain calls you must obey, And a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and turned on the deep blue sea Chorus Farewell to Nova Scotia Your seabound coast Though your mountains dark and dreary be. And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed, Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me III I had three brothers and they're at rest Their arms are folded on their breasts. So farewell, farewell to Scotia's green shore And it's early in the morning and I'm far far away Chorus Farewell to Nova Scotia Your seabound coast Though your mountains dark and dreary be. And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed, Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
