Nova Scotia Farewell
Trad and Orig. lyrics, music by Rising Gael

Farewell to Nova Scotia,
And to the coast bound sea,
Will you ever heave a sigh,
Or have a wish for me?

The sun is setting in the west, 
The birds they sing on every tree,
All nature seemed content to rest, 
But there is still no rest for me

I grieve to leave my land
To leave my family;
I grieve to leave my man, 
To my heart he holds the key.

CHO

I have three brothers dead,
Their arms folded ore their chest;
They fell ore the deep blue sea,
That ocean put them to their rest.

CHO (2x)
