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