Canadian Folk The Blue Nose
Well I've got a story to tell
Of a proud ship that served her people well
Well the Bluenose was her name
And she never lost a race
And she won herself a place in the history of Canada
Blow winds blow for the Bluenose is sailing once again
CHORUS
So beat to the windward once more
And it's up jib and fores'l as before
For your country will be proud once again
Of the ship and the men
Who sailed her smartly into history
Blow winds blow for the Bluenose is sailing once again
She was born in a Nova Scotia town
Where the shipwrights had gained world renown
Down in Lunenburg
They built a living legend out of skill, sweat and pride
And sailed her masterfully till she died
Blow winds blow for the Bluenose is sailing once again
