My Nova Scotia Home Song Lyrics and Chords by Hank Snow

 

My Nova Scotia Home
Written and Recorded by Hank Snow
C 
There's a place I'll always cherish neath the  
G7 
blue Atlantic skies
 
Where the shores down in Cape Breton bid the  
C 
golden sun to rise
 
And the fragrance of the apple blossoms  
F 
sprays the dew kissed lawns
 
Back in  
C 
dear old Nova Scotia  
G7 
a place where I was  
C 
born
 
The Scotian and the Ocean Limited and  
G7 
the Maritime Express
 
Their mighty engines throbbing make their  
C 
way towards the west
 
And the sturdy fishin' schooners  
F 
sways so lazily to and fro
 
Nova  
C 
Scotia is my sanctuary  
G7 
and I love it  
C 
so
 
For across the great Dominion I have  
G7 
traveled far and wide
 
Where the shores out in Vancouver kiss the  
C 
blue Pacific tide
I have crossed the snowcapped Rockies
 
Saw the  
F 
wheat fields' golden blaze
 
Headed  
C 
back to Nova Scotia where  
G7 
contented cattle  
C 
graze
 
Where the pretty Robin Red Breast seeks its'  
G7 
loved ones in the trees
 
And the French dialect in old Quebec keeps  
C 
callin' out to me
 
It seems to say beyond your way there's a  
F 
welcome at the door
 
Where the  
C 
kinfolks are a waiting on  
G7 
that gay Atlantic  
C 
shore
 
Down through beautiful New Brunswick and  
G7 
across the P.E.I.
 
To the rockbound coasts of Newfoundland I'll  
C 
love them till I die
 
But if God came here on Earth with us and  
F 
asked if He could rest
 
I'd take  
C 
Him to my Nova Scotia home the  
G7 
place that I love  
C 
best
