Once again with the tide she slips her lines
F GTurns her head and comes awake
Am GWhere she lay so still there at Privateer's Wharf
Now she quickly gathers way
CShe will range far south
EFrom the harbor mouth
And rejoice with every wave
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Feel her bow rise free of mother sea
F GIn a sunburst cloud of spray
AmThat stings the cheek
While the rigging will speak
F GOf sea miles gone away
C EShe is always best under full press
Hard over as she'll lay
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G FWho will know the Bluenose in the sun
D G
The proud fast queen of the Grand Banks fleet
C EPortrayed on every dime
Knew hard work in her time
Am G DHard work in every line
D GThe rich men's toys are the Gloucester boys
With their token bit 'o cod
Am G AmThey snap their spars and strain to pass her by
G DBut she left them all behind
Now only her namesake daughter remains
F G AmTo show what she has been
GWhat every schoolboy remembers
And will not come again
C ETo think she's the last of the Grand Banks schooners
Am DThat fed so many men
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G FWho will know the Bluenose in the sun
(break)
So does she not take wing
GLike a living thing
F GChild of the moving tide
See her fast swift grace
GOn the water's face
FWith gleamin' quiet pride
Our own tall ship of great renown
Am DStill lifts unto the sky
Am G F GWho will know the Bluenose in the sun
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G FWho will know the Bluenose in the sun
Am G Dknow the Bluenose in the sun
know the Bluenose in the sun
