Designed by William Rou茅 and built by Smith and Rhuland Co
Launched in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1921
Christened by lady Audrey Smith, she slipped into the bay
Oh captain Angus Walters, a skipper of high degree
The Bluenose now was on her way

Season after season a regatta she'd endure
She won the cup for fastest ship and this we know for sure
For 17 years no challenger could best the champion ship
For captain Angus Walters, a skipper of high degree
The fastest schooner ever

She was a champion of the sea
None could best her as it came to be
Old Angus and his crew were quite the team
The Bluenose was the fastest ship make you no mistake
All others failed in her wake

A submarine from Germany had got her in her sights
And surfaced and called, "Are you the bluenose?". Angus cried, "That's right!"
I'd sink you with torpedoes now if you were not the champ
So get back in to the the harbour now I cannot sink your ship
'Cause you're the scooner non can'

She's obsolete in fourty-six, she eventually was sold
A freighter in the Caribbean, this was now her home
A-laiden with bananas as she struck a Haitian shore
Her back was broken hopelessly, she floundered on the reef
She broke apart with no relief

She was a champion of the sea
None could best her as it came to be
Old Angus and his crew were quite the team
The Bluenose was the fastest ship make you no mistake
All others failed in her wake
