Bluenose Lyrics

Bluenose 4/4 Stan Rogers
Intro: kandvlee@shaw.ca
Once a - / gain with the tide, she / slips her lines,
Turns her / head and comes a - / wake,
Where she / lay so still there at / Privateers Wharf,
Now she / quickly gathers / way,
She will / range far / south of the / harbour mouth, and
Re - / joice with every / wave, / /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun.
Feel her / bow rise free of / Mother sea,
In a / sunburst cloud of / spray,
That / stings the cheek, while the / rigging will speak
Of / sea miles gone a - / way,
She is / always best under / full press,
Hard / over as she'll / lay. / /
Chorus: @2
/ /m
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun,
The / proud past queen of the / Grand Banks fleet,
Port - / rayed on every / dime,
Knew / hard work in her / time,
Hard / work in every / line.
The / rich man's toys o' the / Gloucester boys,
With their / token bit of / cod,
They / snapped their spars and / strained to pass
her / by,
But she / left them all be - / hind,
Now her namesake / daughter re - mains,
To / show what she has / been.
What every / school boy remembers, and
Will not come a - / gain,
To / think she's the last of the / Grand Bank
schooners,
That / fed so many / men. / /
Chorus: @2
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun./ /
Break: Fiddle
So does she / not take wing like a / living thing,
Child of the moving / tide
See her / pass with grace on the / water's face
With / clean and quiet / pride
Our / own tall ship of / great renown,
Still / lifts unto the / sky./ /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun? /
/ /m
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun? /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun?
Know the / Bluenose in the / sun, @ 3 ?
