[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

[01:17.126]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
