Lyrics
There's a place I'll always cherish 'neath the blue Atlantic sky
Where the shores down in Cape Breton bid the golden sun to rise
And the fragrance of the apple blossoms praise the dew-kissed lawn
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 lazily to and fro
Nova Scotia is my sanctuary and I love her so
Out across this great dominion, I have traveled far and wide
Where the shores out in Vancouver kiss the blue Pacific tide
I've crossed the snow-capped Rockies
Saw the wheat fields, golden glades
Headed back to Nova Scotia where this ocean boy was raised
Where the pretty robin redbreast seeks his loved ones in the tree
And the French dialect in old Quebec keeps calling out to me
It seems to say be on your way, there's a welcome at the door
Where the kinfolk are waiting on that great Atlantic shore
Down to beautiful New Brunswick and across to PEI
To the rock-bound coast of Newfoundland, I'll love them 'til I die
And if God came here on earth to find a place that he could rest
I'd take him to my Nova Scotia home, the place that I love best
