Artist/Band: Stompin Tom Connors
Lyrics for Song: Farewell to Nova Scotia
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Stompin Tom Connors



The sun was setting in the west

The birds were singing on every tree

All nature seemed inclined to rest

But still there was no rest for me



Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast

Let your mountains dark and dreary be

For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed

Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?



The drums do beat and the wars do alarm

My captain calls, and I must obey

So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms

For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away



Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast

Let your mountains dark and dreary be

For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed

Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?



I grieve to leave my native land

I grieve to leave my comrades all

And my parents, whom I loved so dear

And the bonny, bonny lassie that I do adore



Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast

Let your mountains dark and dreary be

For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed

Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?



I have three brothers and they are at rest

Their hands are folded on their chests

But a poor and simple sailor just like me

Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea



Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast

Let your mountains dark and dreary be

For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed

Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?



Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast

Let your mountains dark and dreary be

For when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossed

Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?



Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
