Once Amagain with the tide, she Am/Gslips her lines,
Turns her Fmaj7head and comes awake G
Where she Amlay so still there at PAm/Grivateers Wharf,
Now she Fmaj7quickly gathers way,
ShGe will rCange far south of the hE7arbour mouth, and
ReAmjoice with every Dwave, Dsus4 D
AmWho will know the GBluenose in the Fsun. G
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 away,
She is always best under full press,
Hard over as she'll lay.
AmWho will know the BlGuenose in the Fsun. G
AmWho will know the BlGuenose in the sAmun.
The prDoud past queen of the GGrand Banks fleet,
PorCtrayed on every dE7ime,
Knew Amhard work in her Dtime,
Am N/C
Hard work in every line.
The Drich man's toys of the GlGoucester boys,
With their Ctoken bit of cE7od,
They Amsnapped their spars and strDained to pass her Gby,
But she E7left 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,
That fed so many men.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.

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.
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun.
Know the Bluenose in the sun
