Fare-well to Nova Scotia the sea-bound coast. Let your mount - ains dark and drear-y be

All nature sang and climbed to rest. But a-las there was no rest for me (CHORUS)

And my poor a-ged par-ents I love so much, And the bon-nie, bon-nie lass that I a - dore (CHORUS)

So fare-well, fare-well to my Nova Scotia home, For its early in the morning and I must a-way (CHORUS)

G G G G Em Em Em Em

I have three brothers now they’re at rest. Their hands are fold-ed a-cross their breasts

G D D D Em Em Em Em

And the poor simple sail-or just like me Must be stowed and left on the deep blue sea (CHORUS)
