Rita MacNeil - Farewell to Nova Scotia текст песни

Now, the sun was setting in the west
And 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, you sea bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm 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 love so well
And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?

I have three brothers all layed to rest
Arms are folded on their chest

And a poor simple sailor just like me
Must be tossed and be driven in the deep, blue sea

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?

Now, the drums they do beat, Wars do alarm
The captain calls, I must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms
For it's early in the morning I am far, far away

Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I'm far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
For me, For me
