The Bluenose Shanty
(words and music Jesse Ferguson, 2021)

V1.
It was April, boys, the 15th day
Bluenose, Bluenose!
we set sail from Lunenburg Bay.
Bluenose, Bluenose!

V2.
To fish and race was our command, etc.
Captain Walters took her in hand, etc.

V3.
It's steer the dory and haul the line, etc.
Pull the codfish from the brine, etc.

V4.
And when we freed her for a race, etc.
Those Yankees came in second place, etc.

V5.
She's queen of the Grand Banks schooners, me boys, etc.
She'll reach the finish much sooner, me boys, etc.

V6.
None could pass her at full sail, etc.
Many have tried and many have failed, etc.

V7.
So, it's one more pull and then belay, etc.
Lunenburg's a hell of a way, etc.
