=============================
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
Will you ev-er heave a
sigh or a wish for me?
