From the Touchstone album, The New Land (1982)

Words:

W:The sun was setting in the West
W:The birds were singing on every tree
W:All of nature seemed inclined for to rest
W:But still there was no rest for me
W:
W:    Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast
W:    Let your mountains dark and dreary be
W:    But when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
W:    Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
W:
W:
W:I grieve to leave my native land
W:I grieve to leave my comrades all
W:My aging parents who I always held so dear
W:And the bonny bonny lass I do adore
W:
W:    Farewell to Nova Scotia...
W:
W:
W:The drums are beating, the horns do alarm
W:The captain calls and we must obey
W:So farewell, farewell, to Nova Scotia's charms
W:For it's early in the morning I am far, far away
W:
W:    Farewell to Nova Scotia...
W:
W:
W:I have three brothers and they're at rest
W:Their arms are folded upon their breast
W:But a poor simple sailor just like me
W:Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea
W:
W:    Farewell to Nova Scotia...
