Farewell To Nova Scotia
[00:00.42] ♫ ♪
[00:04.68] The sunset was setting
[00:08.85] In the west
[00:10.19] The birds were singing
[00:12.83] On every tree
[00:15.23] All nature
[00:18.15] Seemed inclined to rest
[00:21.07] But still there
[00:22.67] Was no rest for me
[00:26.64] Farewell to Nova Scotia
[00:30.12] The seabound coast
[00:31.98] Let your mountains
[00:33.57] Dark and dreary be
[00:37.02] For when I am far away
[00:40.20] On the briny ocean tossed
[00:42.33] Will you ever heave a sigh
[00:44.46] Or a wish for me?
[00:47.65] The drums they do beat
[00:51.90] And the wars do alarm
[00:54.02] The captain calls
[00:55.89] And I must obey
[00:59.34] So farewell, farewell
[01:02.26] To my Nova Scotia's charms
[01:04.38] 'Cause early in the morning
[01:06.24] I'll be far, far away
[01:09.69] Farewell to Nova Scotia
[01:14.22] The seabound coast
[01:15.55] Let your mountains
[01:16.90] Dark and dreary be
[01:20.36] For when I am far away
[01:23.80] On the briny ocean tossed
[01:25.94] Will you ever heave a sigh
[01:28.07] Or a wish for me?
[01:31.80] I grieve to leave
[01:35.25] My native land
[01:37.38] I grieve to leave
[01:39.49] My comrades all
[01:42.16] And my parents
[01:44.80] Whom I loved so dear
[01:47.47] And the bonny, bonny lassie
[01:49.58] That I do adore
[01:53.03] Farewell to Nova Scotia
[01:57.02] The seabound coast
[01:58.88] Let your mountains
[01:59.95] Dark and dreary be
[02:03.66] For when I am far away
[02:06.85] On the briny ocean tossed
[02:08.71] Will you ever heave a sigh
[02:11.11] Or a wish for me?
[02:14.30] I have three brothers
[02:18.27] And they are at rest
[02:20.13] Their hands are folded
[02:22.26] On their chests
[02:24.65] But a poor, simple sailor boy
[02:27.57] Just like me
[02:29.17] Must be tossed by the high winds
[02:31.55] Of the deep blue sea
[02:34.21] Farewell to Nova Scotia
[02:38.73] The seabound coast
[02:40.32] Let your mountains
[02:41.64] Dark and dreary be
[02:45.90] For when I am far away
[02:48.29] On the briny ocean tossed
[02:50.41] Will you ever heave a sigh
[02:52.28] Or a wish for me?
[02:55.47] Farewell to Nova Scotia
[02:59.72] The seabound coast
[03:01.57] Let your mountains
[03:02.89] Dark and dreary be
[03:06.35] For when I am far away
[03:09.54] On the briny ocean tossed
[03:11.40] Will you ever heave a sigh
[03:13.26] Or a wish for me?
[03:16.97] Will you ever heave a sigh
[03:21.76] Or a wish for me?
