NOVA SCOTIA
by Kate Power
Inspired from my impressions as a young child of my Irish-born great-grandmother, whose father was a shipbuilder from Cork City, indentured in St. Mary's Parish, Branch, Newfoundland, as was my great-grandfather's father, an indentured blacksmith from Co Cork.

Intro: G///-D///-C///-D/// x2
G D C D
Never saw a day lovelier
G D C D
Takes my heart astray to my own true love
Em G C D Em
He, so far away on over the sea
G Am
So far from me
D G C D G
It's out with the tide, we'll haul away, Sully
D Em Am D
Bound for Nova Scotia, my sweet love
Em C D G
Is standing by the dockside for me to be greeting
Em G Am D
So haul away to my laddie-o///-///-///-/
G D C D
Aye, to hear his voice softly calling
G D C D
My sails would I hoist, to his land would I go.
Em G C D
Aye, but if he was waiting
Em G Am D G C D G
Freely would I go (Out with the tide, we’ll haul away Sully…..
G D C D
Aye, it's been a year since we parted
G D C D
Woe, how the tears in my breast do arise
Em G C D
Aye, but to know he'd be wanting
Em G Am D G
Me, there by his side, (Out with the tide
G D C D
Standing here, where the ships do meet
G D C D
For the captain's cheer, a good word for me
Em G C D
"There's a cabin free for the lady;
Em G Am D G
We sail for the northern sea", (Out with the tide…..
At end of chorus: Am D///-///-///-/, Em G Am///-D///
Laddie-o Fare me away to my true
