W:
W:The sun was setting in the West
W:The birds were singing on every tree
W:All of nature seemed inclined for to rest
W:But still there was no rest for me
W:
W:    Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast
W:    Let your mountains dark and dreary be
W:    But when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
W:    Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?
W:
W:
W:I grieve to leave my native land
W:I grieve to leave my comrades all
W:My aged parents whom I always held so dear
W:And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore
W:
W:The drums they do beat, and the horns do alarm
W:The captain calls - we must obey
W:So farewell, farewell, to Nova Scotia's charms
W:For it's early in the morning I am far, far away
W:
W:I have three brothers and they are at rest
W:Their arms are folded upon their breast
W:But a poor simple sailor just like me
W:Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea
