The Irish Rovers - Farewell to Nova Scotia lyrics

Farewell to Nova Scotia and your sea bound coast let your mountains dark and dreary be when I am far away on the briney oceans tossed will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me The sun is setting in the west the birds are singing from every tree all nature seems inclinded to rest but still there will be no rest for me I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all and my aged parents whom I love so dear and the bonny bonny la**ie that I adore CHorus Farewell to Nova Scotia and your sea bound coast let your mountains dark and dreary be when I am far away on the briney oceans tossed will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me The drums do beat the wars do alarm the captain calls, I must obey farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms for it's early in the monring and I'm far far away Chorus Farewell to Nova Scotia and your sea bound coast let your mountains dark and dreary be when I am far away on the briney oceans tossed will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me I have 3 brothers they are at rest their arms are folded on their chest but a briney sailor just like me must be tossed and driven in the deep blue sea Chorus Farewell to Nova Scotia and your sea bound coast let your mountains dark and dreary be when I am far away on the briney oceans tossed will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me Farewell to Nova Scotia and your sea bound coast let your mountains dark and dreary be when I am far away on the briney oceans tossed will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me
