Let your moun-tains dark and drear-y be
For when I am far a-way on the brin-y o-cean tossed
Will you ev-er heave a sigh and a wish for me?
I grieve to leave my na-tive land I grieve to leave my com-rades all
And my pa-rents whom I hold so dear
And the bon-nie, bon-nie lass I do a-dore
Fare-well to No-va Sco-tia, you sea-bound coast
Let your moun-tains dark and drear-y be
For when I am far a-way on the brin-y o-cean tossed
Will you ev-er heave a sigh or a wish for me?
The drums do beat and the wars do a-larm
My cap-tain calls, I must o-bey
Fare-well, fare-well to No-va Sco-tia's charms
For it's ear-ly in the morn-ing I am far, far a-way
Fare-well to No-va Sco-tia, you sea-bound coast
Let your moun-tains dark and drear-y be
For when I am far a-way on the brin-y o-cean tossed
Will you ev-er heave a sigh or a wish for me?
I have two broth-ers and they are at rest
Their arms are fold-ed on their breast
But a poor sim-ple sail-or just like me Must be tossed - and - turned
- in the deep dark sea
Fare-well to No-va Sco-tia, you sea-bound coast
Let your moun-tains dark and drear-y be
For when I am far a-way on the brin-y o-cean tossed
Will you ev-er heave a sigh or a wish for me?
Fare-well to No-va Sco-tia, you sea-bound coast
Let your moun-tains dark and drear-y be
For when I am far a-way on the brin-y o-cean tossed
