IntroOnce a - / gain with the tide, she / slips her lines,
/ C / AmTurns her / head and comes a - / wake,
/ Am / CWhere she / lay so still there at / Privateers Wharf,
Now she / quickly gathers / way,
/ Am / / CShe will / range far / south of the / harbour mouth, and
/ C / D / /Re - / joice with every / wave, / /
Who will know the / Bluenose in the / sun. / /
Feel her / bow rise free of / Mother sea,
/ C / AmIn a / sunburst cloud of / spray,
/ Am / CThat / stings the cheek, while the / rigging will speak
Of / sea miles gone a - / way,
/ Am / CShe is / always best under / full press,
/ C / D / /Hard / over as she'll / lay. / /

The / rich man's toys o' the / Gloucester boys,
/ C / AmWith their / token bit of / cod,
They / snapped their spars and / strained to pass

/ F / AmBut she / left them all be - / hind,
Now her namesake / daughter re - mains,
/ F / AmTo / show what she has / been.
/ CWhat every / school boy remembers, and
Will not come a - / gain,
/ Am / CTo / think she's the last of the / Grand Bank schooners,
/ Am / D / /That / fed so many / men. / /

With / clean and quiet / pride,
