Aboard the Nova Scotia (Lyrics)
The passengers who boarded
The good ship Nova Scotia
When lords of land were destiny of fate
Distant land of neighbour clans
Atlantic bound for all who planned
A life in Halifax the Alba way
Let it sail, let it sail, let it sail, let it sail
Watching from the shore it seemed
Abandoning by hordes
Who never wanted things to change its not our way
Lands of home hand built by stone
Decided now by foreign throne
The farming land of value now re-claimed
Let it sail, let it sail, let it sail, let it sail
The clearances they took effect
A cloud of smoke the country wept
Elizabeth and George they had their way
Ten years passed a nation gasped
Two thousand families daily massed
On board the Nova Scotia sailed away
Let it sail, let it sail, let it sail, let it sail |
