Note: Anne sang it this song in a television specials but never recorded it.      The sun was setting in the west    The birds were singing on every tree    All nature seemed inclined for to rest    But still there was no rest for me.       Chorus    Farewell to Nova Scotia, you 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?      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 lassie that I do adore.       The drums they do beat and the wars to 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.       I have three brothers and they are at rest    Their arms are folded on their breast    But a poor simple sailor just like me    Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea...
