Subject: Info please: Ballad of the Bluenose From: Sandy Paton Date: 25-Feb-00 - 10:00 PM ^^ A Friend is seeking information on the source of this song. Anyone know who wrote it and when? Anyone have a tune for it? I'll pass along any information you Maritimers can provide. Thanks. BLUENOSE (Doug Skilling and Davit Martin) In the town of Lunenburg down Nova Scotia way In nineteen twenty-one on a windy day A sailing ship was born, "Bluenose" was her name You'll never see her kind again {Refrain} Bluenose, the ocean knows her name Sailors know how proud a ship was she Bluenose, leading in the wind Racing ev'ry way on the sea Her hull was long and black, her sails were snowy white She looked just like a young bird in flight And from the very first, the Bluenose loved to run She loved the smell of sea and sun {Refrain} For twenty-five long years she ruled the Northern sea Riding like a queen on the tide In the Caribbean one dark and stormy day She ran into a reef and died {Refrain} Now just the other day, down Nova Scotia way In Lunenburg they christened a ship Just like the old Bluenose, down to the very name The Bluenose lives and sails again {Refrain} Sandy |
Subject: RE: Bluenose song From: sophocleese Date: 02 Mar 00 - 12:18 PM Rana I copies this from an older thread on the Bluenose: Its a start to help your search. You can set your filter to "Bluenose" and check threads in the last 30 days, there were at least two that I remember, But I don't remember many lyrics. Subject: RE: The Bluenose From: GUEST,David MacMillan, thedaver@bconnex.net Date: 20-Jan-00 - 12:01 AM The song "The Bluenose" with lyric Blue..Nose.. the ocean knows her name Sailors know how proud a ship waS she Bluenose leaning in the wind Racing every wave on the sea The song was originally recorded by the Fernwood Trio on Sparton Records album #221 about 1962. It was written by D Martins(Dave I think), although the melody may have been written someone else. The arrangement was done by the Trio and was a much improved version on the origial chord structure. Later the Irish Rovers recorded essentially the same arrangement as the Fernwood Trio created. The members of the Trio were David MacMillan,Ted Parrott and Bob Cunningham all of Oshawa Ontario. Album #221 was entitled "The Bluenose and Other Folk Songs". The Trio also recorded an album previous to the above, named "Hootin' Holiday" Sparton #217 |

I"m looking for an old Canadian folk song called Bluenose (NOT THE ONE BY STAN ROGERS). This one had the lyrics, Bluenose the ocean knows your name..... It was written by Doug Skilling and David Martin who used the name Ryan's Fancy. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I grew up singing this song and really would love to find it again. Thank you. Sandra Chait at fptaptsc@rpa.net |
