Intro: Verse The sun was setting in the west And the birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed inclined for a rest But still there was no rest for me So Farewell to Nova Scotia your sea-bound coast To your mountains dark to your hills and streams I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me Solo Verse The drums they do beat to war the alarm The captain calls, we must obey So farewell, fare thee well To your Nova Scotian charms It’s early in the morning I am bound far away Verse I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents whom I love so dear And the bonny, bonny lass that I do adore Solo So Farewell to Nova Scotia your sea-bound coast To your mountains dark to your hills and streams I am bound far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me for me
