Canadian Folk - The Blue Nose lyrics

rate me

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
