Farewell To Nova Scotia 歌詞

[chorus]: Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast, Let your mountains dark and dreary be When I'm far away, on the briny ocean tossed, Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me? The sun was setting in the West The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed to be at rest But, alas, there was no rest for me. [chorus] I grieve to leave my native home I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents whom I hold so dear And the bonny, bonny lass that I do adore. [chorus] The drums do beat and the horns do alarm My captain calls; I must obey Farewell, farewell, to Nova Scotia's charm For it's early in the morning I am bound far away [chorus] I have two brothers and they are at rest. Their hands are folded on their chest. But a poor and simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and turned on the deep, dark sea. [chorus x2]
