C
My father was a Blue Nose,
F
and his dad through and through,
G7
My mother, she's a Blue Nose,
C
and her mother's mother too,
C
We live in Nova Scotia where the
F
sea and sky are blue,
G7
And when they call us Blue Nose,
C
we're goldang proud they do.
C
From Sydney to the Yarmouth town
F
and all points in between,
G7
It's just a magic picture book,
C
the like you never seen,
C
And the pioneer who settled here
F
and gave this land a name,
G7
If he was called Blue Nose,
C
I wanna be called the same.
F
For we turned the wheels of industry before the days of oil,
F
When the Nova Scotia miners gave
G7
the world their precious coal,
C
And we built the fastest sailing ship
F
that ever sailed the sea,
G7
And if that was called Blue Nose,
C
that's good enough for me.
***Chorus
C
Now you might work in Halifax
F
or make Cape Breton steel,
G7
But there's a bond between us
C
all we understand and feel,
C
And the world has seen our brothers
F
who went off to fight the war,
G7
And if they were called Blue Nose,
C
could we be something more?
F
Down where the seafoods are the finest,
F
always grade A number one,
F
And the orchards of Anapolis,
G7
they're the second best to none,
C
We love you, Nova Scotia,
F
may you stand forever proud,
G7
And when they call you Blue Nose,
C
just smile and take a bow.
***Chorus
C
We live in Nova Scotia
F
where the sea and sky are blue,
G7
And when they call us Blue Nose,
C
we're goddang proud they do.
