Story behind the song
Farewell to Nova Scotia A traditional lively Celtic style folk piece, also known as The Nova Scotia Song (1950), it appears to have been written just before or during World War I. It harkens to Atlantic Canadaa019s wooden ship, seafaring past and tradition notes that its Canadian author had lost a brother at sea during wartime. Most likely the songa019s inspirational origins can be traced to weaver-poet Robert Tannahilla019s (1774-1810) a01CThe Soldiera019s Adieua01D printed in an 1808 Glasgow newspaper.
