the nova scotia song - catherine mckinnon lyrics

[verse 1: catherine]
the sun was setting in the west
the birds were singing on every tree
all nature seemed inclined for a rest
but still there was no rest for me

[chorus: all]
farewell to nova scotia, the sea*bound coast
let your mountains dark and dreary be!
for when i am far away on the briny ocean tossed
will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?

[verse 2: catherine]
i grieve to leave my native land
i grieve to leave my comrades all
and my parents whom i held so dear
and the bonnie, bonnie lad that i do adore

[chorus: all]
farewell to nova scotia, the sea*bound coast
let your mountains dark and dreary be!
for when i am far away on the briny ocean tossed
will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?

[verse 3: catherine]
the drums they do beat, and the wars do alarm
the captain calls, we must obey
so farewell, farewell, to nova scotia’s charms
for it’s early in the morning i am far, far away
[chorus: all]
farewell to nova scotia, the sea*bound coast
let your mountains dark and dreary be!
for when i am far away on the briny ocean tossed
will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
(will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?)
will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
