 | farewell to nova scotia traditional folk song john rah vs. 1 The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed inclined for a rest But still there was no rest for me CHORUS: Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seabound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me vs 2 I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents whom I held so dear And the bonny bonny lass that I do adore REPEAT CHORUS vs. 3 The drums they do beat and the wars do alarm The captains call, we must obey So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For its early in the morning and I am far far away REPEAT CHORUS vs 4 I have three brothers and that are at rest Their arms are folded on their breasts But a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea REPEAT CHORUS some information taken from http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com 'Farewell to Nova Scotia'. A sailor's lament sometimes identified as 'Nova Scotia Song'. Linda Christine Craig in her 'The Scottish origins of "Farewell to Nova Scotia"' (Dalhousie R, vol 58, 1978-9) shows that the song is derived from 'The Soldier's Adieu,' attributed to the Scottish weaver-poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810), and that it is transformed into a sailor's song with an 'intensity which is completely absent from "The Soldier's Adieu"'.In the third quarter of the 20th century it became the best known of all Nova Scotia songs, partly because the Halifax CBC TV show 'Singalong Jubilee' (1961-74) used it as a theme and Catherine McKinnon recorded it (Something Old, Something New, Arc 256). Other recorded versions include those by Diane Oxner (Canadian Cavalcade CCLP-2005), Terry Kelly (Gun TKP-8391), Finnigan (Banana 1077), and Ian and Sylvia (Vanguard 23-24). Jack Sirulnikoff used it in his Nova Scotia Fantasy for band. G.V. Thompson published a version for choir or voice, with or without piano, in 1964 and an arrangement for band by Peter Riddle in 1978. Another choral version is included in Reflections of Canada. |

 | Anne Murray - You Won't See Me Issued in Canada April 1974 on Capitol 72727 and in the US on Capitol 3867. Is there anyone, anywhere who doesn't know who Anne Murray is? She left Springhill, Nova Scotia and got a teaching degree at the University of New Brunswick, and taught physical education in Prince Edward Island for one year. An invitation to return to "Singalong Jubilee" at CBC Halifax, which had previously turned her down, was the motivator for her to continue singing. Brian Ahern, the show's musical director, convinced her to make an album, which was released on Arc Records out of Toronto, in 1968. By 1969, she had signed with Capitol of Canada, and in 1970 she recorded Gene MacLellan's "Snowbird." It became the most played song of 1970, and Anne was the first Canadian woman to receive a Gold Record from the American music industry. There was no looking back. In 1974, Anne recorded what might just be the definitive version of Paul McCartney's "You Won't See Me." It's very hard to improve on a Beatles record, but this version is so right, and so well-done, it had to be a hit. Released in the US, it charted on April 20th 1974 and reached #8. In Canada, it entered the RPM 100 on the same date at #72 with a bullet, and reached #5 on June 22nd. John Lennon knocked on Anne's dressing room door at the 1974 Grammy Awards to tell her that "You Won't See Me" was his favorite cover of a Beatles record. To quote a paragraph from her website: "Anne's career to date, has been honoured by a spectacular number of awards - more than almost any female singer in history. She is the proud recipient of four Grammys, three American Music Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, three Canadian Country Music Association Awards and twenty-four Juno Awards. Anne has also been honoured with the Legacy Award from the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (2006), the East Coast Music Association Directors' Special Achievement Award (2001), induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame (2002) and induction into the Juno Hall of Fame (1993). Anne is a Companion of the Order of Canada, the highest honour that can be awarded to a Canadian civilian. She was the first inductee into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' Hall of Fame. She has her own Star at Hollywood and Vine. In 1998, she was in the inaugural group awarded a Star on Canada's Walk of Fame on King Street in Toronto, and she has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame Walkway of Stars." Additionally, her face is on a Canadian postage stamp. You might say she's been licked by thousands. Beats teaching phys ed, eh?
