Bluenose
e D e
1. In the town of Lunenburg down Nova Scotia way
G D a e
in 1921 on a windy day, a sailing ship was born,
D e a H7 e
Bluenose was her name, will we ever see her kind again?
Refrain:
C D G e
Bluenose, the ocean knows her name,
C D G
sailors know how proud a ship was she.
C D G e a H7 e
Bluenose leaning in the wind, racing every wave on the sea.
e D e
2. Her sails were snowy white, they strained against the mast,
G D a e
the spray blew high, as she went racing past. As from the very first,
D e a H7 e
Bluenose loved to run, she liked the smell of sea and the sun.
e D e
3. For twenty-five long years, she ruled the northern seas,
G D a e
riding like a queen on the tide. Then in the Caribbean,
D e a H7 e
one dark and stormy night, she ran onto a reef and died.
e D e
4. Now just the other day down Nova Scotia way
G D a e
in Lunenburg, they christened a ship just like the old Bluenose,
D e a H7 e
to her very name: Bluenose lives and sails again.
