Type Nova Scotia into the DT and Forum search.

FAREWELL TO NOVA SCOTIA is in the DT.

Lyr Req: Farewell to Nova Scotia in the forum, where there are discussions, background info, & links to recordings.

The last line of that chorus has always bothered me. How the heck do you "heave a wish?" Couldn't the line be sung: "Will you ever heave a sigh or MAKE a wish for me?"

Never came to mind to question "heave a sigh and a wish." Here in western Canada, it is often sung by and for homesick Maritimers. The line sings better without "make." Never heard a picky word.

Sandy, questions been asked but I don't think any conclusions were made at this thread

And I thought it was only my short term memory that was waning as my antiquity waxed. I'd completely forgotten the previous exchange.
