Farewell to Nova Scotia
=======================
arr. John van Gulik

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I am 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 inclined for a rest
But still there was no rest for me
But still there was no rest for me

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I am far away on the briny ocean 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
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charm!
For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away
For it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away

I have three brothers and they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their chests
But a poor and simple sailor just like me
Must be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea

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