Sail On Bluenose

Written for a Nova Scotia

song writers competition.

Come all ye sailor's and landlubber's too,

To the shores of New Scotland and gaze,

At the schooner that rides the waves with ease,

In the distance her form quickly fades.

Chorus:

So sail on Bluenose, sail on oh dream,

In our heart's eye your masts are still clearly seen;

On the ocean of memories you still glide serene,

So, sail on Bluenose, sail on oh dream.

Upon the high sea's the Bluenose took sail,

Her great speed was to all known around.

She skimmed along on the sparkling waves,

Oh, none else like her could be found.

A dream that sail's on through the mists of time,

Weathering all the storms that she meets;

From the present we now look to the past,

In our heart's your grand image we keep.
