Artist/Band: Anne Murray
Lyrics for Song: Farewell to Nova Scotia
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Anne Murray



Note: Anne sang it this song in a television specials but never recorded it.



The sun was setting in the west

The birds were singing on every tree

All nature seemed inclined for to rest

But still there was no rest for me.



Chorus

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound 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?



I grieve to leave my native land

I grieve to leave my comrades all

And my parents whom I held so dear

And the bonnie, bonnie lassie that I do adore.



The drums they do beat and the wars to alarm

The captain calls, we must obey

So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms

For it's early in the morning I am far, far away.



I have three brothers and they are at rest

Their arms are folded on their breast

But a poor simple sailor just like me

Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea...
