Blue Nose

In the town of Linnenberg down Nova Scotia way
In 1921 on a windy day
A sailing ship was born old Blue Nose was her name
Will we ever see her kind again

CHORUS
Blue Nose the ocean knows her name
Sailors know how proud a ship was she
Blue Nose leaning in the wind
Racing every wave on the sea

Her sails were snowy white they strained against the mast
Her spray rose high as she went racing past
And from the very first old Blue Nose loved to win
And she loved the smell of sea and the sun


CHORUS

For twenty five long years she ruled the northern seas
She strayed like a queen on the tide
Then in the Caribbean one dark and stormy night
She ran upon a reef and died

CHORUS

Now just the other day down Nova Scotia way
In Linnenberg they christened a ship
Just like the old Blue Nose and to her very name
The Blue Nose lives and sails again

CHORUS
