Farewell nova scotia
The Asun was sinking down in the west
The F#mbirds were singing on every tree
All nAature sEeemed to be at rest
But F#mstill there wDas no rC#mest for F#mme
Chorus:
FarewAell to Nova Scotia
The sea-bound coast
may your F#mmountains dark and dreary be
For when AI am far aEway
On the briny ocean tossed
Will you eF#mver heave a sDigh
and a C#mwish for F#mme
I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my aged loving parents whom I held so dear
And the bonny, bonny lass
who I do adore
I have three brothers and they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their chests
But a poor, weary sailor the likes of me
Must be tossed and forgotten
On the deep, blue sea
