I am looking for the author/source for an old folk song. My dear departed Aunt used to sing a song that we called:
Cape Breton Farewell
Chorus: These are the last hours I'll spend in Cape Breton Please God arrange it so I'll see once more My own lovely land at the dawning of morning And then be returning to Cape Breton's fair shore
At the dawn of the morning my ship will be sailing To take me away from the land of my birth And I know in the morning my heart will be breaking For I'm leaving the place i hold dearest on earth
I have more verses but woul like to find the songwriter/originator.
