Karaoké Farewell to Nova Scotia The Irish Rovers

Farewell to Nova Scotia

The 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 was setting in the west

The birds were singing on every tree

All nature seems to be at rest but alas there was no rest for me

Farewell to Nova Scotia

The 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 grieve to leave my native home

I grieve to leave my comrades' arms

And my parents whom

I hold so dear

And the bonny, bonny lass

I do adore

Farewell to Nova Scotia

The 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 and the wars do alarm

My captain calls

I must obey

Farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms

For it's early in the morning

I am bound far away

Farewell to Nova Scotia

The 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 two brothers and they are at rest

Their arms are folded on their chest

But a poor and simple sailor just like me must be tossed and turned in the deep dark sea

Farewell to Nova Scotia

The 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

The 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
