The Irish Rovers - Bluenose lyrics

In the town of Lunenburg down Nova Scotia way In nineteen twenty-one on a windy day A sailing ship was born, "Bluenose" was her name You'll never see her kind again Bluenose, the ocean knows her name Sailors know how proud a ship was she Bluenose, leading in the wind Racing ev'ry way on the sea For twenty-five long years she ruled the Northern sea Riding like a queen on the tide In the Caribbean one dark and stormy day She ran into a reef and died Bluenose, the ocean knows her name Sailors know how proud a ship was she Bluenose, leading in the wind Racing ev'ry way on the sea Now just the other day, down Nova Scotia way In Lunenburg they christened a ship Just like the old Bluenose, down to the very name The Bluenose lives and sails again Bluenose, the ocean knows her name Sailors know how proud a ship was she Bluenose, leading in the wind Racing ev'ry way on the sea
