My Nova Scotia Home

There's a place I'll always cherish,neath the blue Atlantic skies

Where the shores down in Cape Breton,bit the golden sun to rise

And the fragrance of the apple blossoms,above the dew kissed lawns

Back in dear old Nova Scotia,the place where I was born

The Scotian and the Ocean Limited,and the Maritime express

Their mighty engines throbbing,make their way towards the west

And the sturdy fishing schooner,sways so lazy to and frow

Nova Scotia is my sanctuary,and I love her so

Far across this great Dominion,I have travelled far and wide

Where the shores out in Vancouver,kiss the blue Pacific tide

I have crossed the snow capped Rockies

saw the wheat fields golden blaze

Headed back to Nova Scotia,where I'll spend my twilight days

Where the pretty robin red breast

Sings to loved ones in the trees

and the French dialect in old Quebec,keeps a'calling out to me

It seems to say be on your way be on your way

There's a welcome at the door

Where the kin folks are awaiting

on that green Atlantic shore

Down through beautiful New Brunswick,and across to PEI

To the rock bound coasts of Newfoundland

I'll love them till I die

But if God came here on Earth with us

and asked for a little rest

I'd take him to Nova Scotia home

The place that I love best
