Farewell To Nova Scotia

The sun was setting in the west
 and a small bird sang on every tree.
 All nature was inclined ot take a rest
 But There never is no rest no peace for me.
 Farewell to Nova Scotia
 Your seabound coast
 Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
 And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
 Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
 II
 The drums do roll and the war goes on
 And the captain calls you must obey,
 And a poor simple sailor just like me
 Must be tossed and turned on the deep blue sea
 Farewell to Nova Scotia
 Your seabound coast
 Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
 And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
 Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
 III
 I had three brothers and they're at rest
 Their arms are folded on their breasts.
 So farewell, farewell to Scotia's green shore
 And it's early in the morning and I'm far far away
 Farewell to Nova Scotia
 Your seabound coast
 Though your mountains dark and dreary be.
 And when I'm far awa' on the briny ocean tossed,
 Would you ever heave a sigh and remember me
