Intro: Am  
Once Amagain with the tide, she Gslips her lines,
Turns her Fhead and comes awake,
Where she Amlay so still there at GPrivateers Wharf,
Now she Fquickly gathers way,
She will Crange far south of the Emharbour mouth, and
ReAmjoice with every Dwave,
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Amsun.
Feel her Ambow rise free of GMother sea,
In a Fsunburst cloud of spray,
That Amstings the cheek, while the Grigging will speak
Of Fsea miles gone away,
She is Calways best under Emfull press,
Hard Amover as she'll Dlay.
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Fsun.
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Fsun.
The Amproud past queen of the CGrand Banks fleet,
PorEmtrayed on every Amdime,
Knew Emhard work in her Amtime,
                 EmN/C  
Hard work in every line.
The Amrich man's toys of the CGloucester boys,
With their Emtoken bit of Amcod,
They Amsnapped their spars and Dstrained to pass her Gby,
But she Emleft them all behind,
AmNow her namesake Gdaughter remains,
To Fshow what she has been.
AmWhat every Gschool boy remembers, and
FWill not come again,
CTo think she's the last of the EmGrand Bank schooners,
That Amfed so many Dmen.
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Fsun.
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Fsun.
Break:      Fiddle

So does she Amnot take wing like a Gliving thing,
Child Fof the moving tide,
See her Ampass with grace on the Gwater's face,
With Fclean and quiet pride,
Our Cown tall ship of Emgreat renown,
Still Amlifts unto the Dsky.
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Fsun.
AmWho will know the CBluenose in the Fsun.
Know the Bluenose in the Amsun
AmKnow the EmBluenose in the Amsun

Rejoice with every wave,

Hard over as she'll lay.

But she left them all behind,

Now her namesake daughter remains,

To show what she has been.

What every school boy remembers, and

Will not come again,

To think she's the last of the Grand Bank schooners,
