Oh, the sun was setting in the west
The birds were singing on ev'ry tree
All nature seemed inclinèd to rest
But still there was no rest for me

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
Or when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever give a thought or a wish for me?

I grieve to leave my native home
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my dear agèd parents, I love so well
And the bonnie, bonnie lassie I do adore

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
Or when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever give a thought or a wish for me?

I have two brothers, they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their breast
But a poor lonely sailor just like me
Must be tossed and driven on the deep blue sea

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
Or when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever give a thought or a wish for me?

Oh, the drums they do beat and the wars do alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's shores
For it's early in the morning, I am far, far away

Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
Or when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever give a thought or a wish for me?
