Heading For Halifax Lyrics by Celtic Folk
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Heading for HalifaxG D G CLate spring the leaves have turned green, G Em DAnd there's sheep on the hill side, there's birds on the wing.G D C GOver my shoulder the last time I'm seeing,D C GThe old home all weathered and greyG D G CWe talked till three, my father and me,G Em DAnd the fiddle tunes flowed like the pure Margaree,G D C G"Never forget who you are,son", said he. D C GAs I followed my brothers away.CHORUS:EmAnd I'm heading for Halifax to see what's to spare, DIn the way of some work and if there's nothing there, EmIt's Toronto, Out west, to God only knows where, C G DBut there's bound to be friends from back home.G D G COne thing I know, wherever I go,G Em DMy heart's in Cape Breton it will always be so.G D C GWhenever the fiddler he rosens his bow,D C GMy first and last thoughts are of home.Cho.
