One night in
June beneath the moon
I heard those fiddles play
Down over Scotia way,
down over Scotia way
And as my boat began to float
across that moonlit bay
I found a cabaret
down Nova Scotia way.
And as I walked upon the dock
where friendly people say,
You're welcome here to stay,
they stole my heart away.
And when the dance led to romance
I fell in love that day,
Down Nova Scotia way,
down Nova Scotia way.
And the moon was shining bright
as heaven whispered,
Tell her that your heart will never stray.
Take her in your arms and
when you kiss her,
Tell her that you'll never sail away.
But the dawn was coming on
and I just couldn't stay
Down Nova Scotia way,
but I'll go back someday
An d my boat again will float
across that moonlit bay
To where those fiddles play,
down Nova Scotia
And the moon was shining bright
as heaven whispered,
Tell her that your heart will never stray,
Take her in your arms and
when you kiss her,
Tell her that you'll never sail away.
But the dawn was coming on
and I just couldn't stay,
Down Nova Scotia way,
but I'll go back some day,
And my boat again will float
across that moonlit bay,
To where those fiddles play,
Down Nova Scotia way.
And my boat again will float
across that moonlit bay,
To a little cabaret,
Down Nova Scotia way.
And that is where I'll stay,
Down Nova Scotia way.
Eeeh, eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh...
