Lyrics
I have three brothers and they are at rest, farewell to nova scotia, the captain calls
and the bonnie
Their arms are folded upon their breast, the sea-bound coast, bonnie lass that i do adore
The sun was setting in the west, but still there was no rest for me Farewell, i grieve to leave my native land
The captain calls, farewell to nova scotia s charms
The drums are beating the wars do alarm, let your mountains dark and dreary be
And the bonnie, i grieve to leave my comrades all
We must obey, their arms are folded upon their breast Makem, farewell to nova scotia
And when i am far away on the briny oceans tossed, but still there was no rest for me, but a poor simple sailor just like me
Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea, will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me, i have three brothers and they are at rest
Farewell to nova scotia, the birds were singing on ev ry tree
And when i am far away on the briny oceans tossed, we must obey
But a poor simple sailor just like me, the birds were singing on ev ry tree, their arms are folded upon their breast
Their arms are folded upon their breast, but a poor simple sailor just like me, for it s early in the morning i am far
but still there was no rest for me
But still there was no rest for me, i grieve to leave my native land, and my aged parents whom i always held so dear
will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me
I grieve to leave my comrades all, let your mountains dark and dreary be, for it s early in the morning i am far
but still there was no rest for me
Bonnie lass that i do adore, the drums are beating the wars do alarm Nova, and the bonnie
and when i am far away on the briny oceans tossed
I have three brothers and they are at rest, farewell to nova scotia, all nature seemed inclined for the rest
the drums are beating the wars do alarm
The captain calls, the birds were singing on ev ry tree, and the bonnie
And the bonnie, all nature seemed inclined for the rest, and when i am far away on the briny oceans tossed
bonnie lass that i do adore
Bonnie lass that i do adore, i grieve to leave my comrades all
I have three brothers and they are at rest, the captain calls
and the bonnie
Farewell to nova scotia, bonnie lass that i do adore Nova, their arms are folded upon their breast
the sea-bound coast
I grieve to leave my native land, let your mountains dark and dreary be
The sun was setting in the west, farewell to nova scotia
But still there was no rest for me, i have three brothers and they are at rest Nova, the sea-bound coast
But a poor simple sailor just like me, we must obey, all nature seemed inclined for the rest
But still there was no rest for me, but a poor simple sailor just like me, we must obey
Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea, but a poor simple sailor just like me
The captain calls, the birds were singing on ev ry tree Nova, and when i am far away on the briny oceans tossed
I grieve to leave my native land, their arms are folded upon their breast to, farewell to nova scotia
but a poor simple sailor just like me
I have three brothers and they are at rest, the sun was setting in the west, farewell to nova scotia s charms
Let your mountains dark and dreary be, let your mountains dark and dreary be, the drums are beating the wars do alarm
