    Lyrics
    The sun was setting in the west and the birds were singing in every tree
    All nature seemed inclined for a rest But still there was no rest for me

    Farewell to Nova Scotia your seabound coast let your mountains dark and dreary be
    And when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed would you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me

    I grieve to leave my native land and I grieve to leave my comrades all
    And my parents whom I love so dear and the bonnie, bonnie lassie that I do adore

    Farewell.....

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

    Farewell...

    Oh the drums they do beat and the wars do alarm Oh the captain crys I must obey
    So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's early in the morning and I'm far, far away.

    So farewell...
