Thread Name: Lyr Req: Farewell to Nova Scotia
Subject: RE: Farewell to Nova Scotia --lyrics request
I got mine from a good old fashioned book (imagine!) called The Penguin Book Of Canadian Folk Songs, where it's listed as "Farewell to Nova Scotia", not that the title actually matters very much. It has the melody with passable guitar chords and notes about the song. Mine's the 1973 edition but it may have been re-edited since. At any rate, I know it's in my local (small town) library as well. I've no scanner so I can't help you that way...I've heard other verses too, but I don't have them written anywhere...there are also some similar tunes in the tradition...including a French-Canadian one I think.

Peace, Mooh.
