I assume that is the Bluenose schooner on the TV. I recall the video from a video made for a Stan Rogers song called Bluenose. Hey to all my fellow Bluenosers.

[chevette47]

@crazkurtz WOOT WOOT GLACE BAY!!

[sagamigawaville]

@chevette47

[laurieoostie]

@crazkurtz It's footage from the last race of the Bluenose. Racing off Gloucester, Mass. against the Gertrude L. Thibault. Shot by W.R. MacAskill in October 1938.

[gravyboat069]

No I ain't gonna look back It's my new home in the moonlight sun It's my ship shape great escape gonna bring all my roy orbison tapes i'm gonna leave you for a babe it's just a matter of time i'm gonna leave you for a babe it's just a matter of time i'm gonna leave you for a babe it's just a matter of time There are a couple of typos but should help out. I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere!

[pinkcheese000]

@gravyboat069 go gravyboat! Let us poutine it up!!!

[gravyboat069]

i'm gonna leave you for a babe it's just a matter of time Man as the terrain and the water flow across her keel So fast oh baby you can really feel it At the helm on the the wheel she's so worth it to see herself faithfull to me I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champange across her bow i'm gonna leave you for a babe it's just a matter of time when the wild winds wail I'll be setting my sail Precision and perfection second to none I ain't never gonna turn around

[gravyboat069]

I'm Building a boat to get me out of town so I'm cutting bi tall trees down to the ground I'm gonna cut em up into bends With a couple of my friends We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring yeah I'll hand make all the sails blocks and switches batten down the hatches with big brass hinges and on the deck there will be teak and it'll never ever leak We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champange across her bow

[OfficialFTRtv]

[bert26a]

I've never even been to the east coast or have seen the ocean but this is Great Canadian Rock & Roll, I dont think we've heard anything this good since the Tragically Hip first came out with they're self titled debut, keep it up boys!

[chrissept21]

[Lungus1]

matt, you can take her WITH YOU to tighten the sheet ;) I think the idea was to find a new sheet tightener(s), maybe ones that nag less, hahahaha.

[malyphicent]

go, matt. some have said this song is stupid or crappy but maybe it's just a matter of being able to i.d. with it. my man's a nova scotia boatbuilder and i swear you pulled this song outta his life. how did you know about roy? and btw: you don't have to leave her, matt, you can take her WITH YOU to tighten the sheet ;)

[liferescripted]

[yourname200]
