Lyrics

[00:40.033] Designed by William Rou茅 and built by Smith and Rhuland Co
[00:43.455] Launched in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1921
[00:46.877] Christened by lady Audrey Smith, she slipped into the bay
[00:50.403] Oh captain Angus Walters, a skipper of high degree
[00:53.851] The Bluenose now was on her way
[00:56.946]
[01:03.046] Season after season a regatta she'd endure
[01:06.547] She won the cup for fastest ship and this we know for sure
[01:09.943] For 17 years no challenger could best the champion ship
[01:13.469] For captain Angus Walters, a skipper of high degree
[01:17.126] The fastest schooner ever
[01:19.268]
[01:19.268] She was a champion of the sea
[01:22.508] None could best her as it came to be
[01:25.904] Old Angus and his crew were quite the team
[01:29.482] The Bluenose was the fastest ship make you no mistake
[01:32.957] All others failed in her wake
[01:36.417]
[01:58.583] A submarine from Germany had got her in her sights
[02:01.874] And surfaced and called, "Are you the bluenose?". Angus cried, "That's right!"
[02:05.584] I'd sink you with torpedoes now if you were not the champ
[02:09.032] So get back in to the the harbour now I cannot sink your ship
[02:12.558] 'Cause you're the scooner non can'
[02:15.327]
[02:21.544] She's obsolete in fourty-six, she eventually was sold
[02:25.019] A freighter in the Caribbean, this was now her home
[02:28.545] A-laiden with bananas as she struck a Haitian shore
[02:31.915] Her back was broken hopelessly, she floundered on the reef
[02:35.598] She broke apart with no relief
[02:37.871]
[02:37.871] She was a champion of the sea
[02:41.058] None could best her as it came to be
[02:44.611] Old Angus and his crew were quite the team
[02:48.085] The Bluenose was the fastest ship make you no mistake
[02:51.637] All others failed in her wake
