Nova Scotia Farewell

Farewell to Nova Scotia
 and to the coast bound sea
 Will you ever breathe a sigh,
 or have the wish for me.
 The sun is setting in the west
 The birds, they sing on every tree
 All nature seemed inclined to rest
 but there is still no rest for me.
 I grieve to leave my land
 to leave my family,
 I grieve to leave my man
 to my heart he holds the key.
 The sun is setting in the west
 The birds, they sing on every tree
 All nature seemed inclined to rest
 but there is still no rest for me.
 I have three brothers dead
 their arms folded ore their chest
 They fell the deep blue sea
 that ocean put them to their rest.
 The sun is setting in the west
 The birds, they sing on every tree
 All nature seemed inclined to rest
 but there is still no rest for me.
 The sun is setting in the west
 The birds, they sing on every tree
 All nature seemed inclined to rest
 but there is still no rest for me.
