Man With Blue Dolphin

Research sometimes turns up more than just a lot of information. Bruce Kemp,
 a freelance photographer, supplied Stan with a true life story. There really is
 a wonderful, crazy man in Windsor who has raised the Blue Dolphin from the
 harbour mud. She is the sister ship of the Bluenose, about 20 ft. shorter and
 somewhat deeper and heavier in the keel. She saw service as a pleasure craft,
 a research ship and then as a sub tracker in W.W.II. Attempts are being made
 to restore her and put her on display as a museum. Support for this venture
 can be sent to Bruce Kemp, 60 Shanly St., Toronto Ontario M6H 1S5]
 It was just like him. He had to pick
 A boat gone from dowdy to derelict
 In half a dozen years
 Of searching for an owner
 She may have lost her heart in the harbour mud,
 But she really caught his at the flood;
 And he wonders how she knew
 That she was waiting for a loner.
 Blue Dolphin, built by the Rhuland men,
 She's lying on the bottom again
 With only him to care
 That Bluenose had a sister.
 He lost the house and he sold the car.
 His wife walked out; so he hit the bars
 And hit up every friend
 To raise the Blue Dolphin
 And even afloat she's a hole in the water where his money goes.
 Every dollar goes
 And it's driving him crazy.
 He pounds his fists white on the dock in the night
 And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
 And licks the blood away.
 And he's gonna raise the Dolphin.
 Blue Dolphin's lying like a wounded whale.
 She's hungry for a scrap of a sail
 To get her underway
 Back to salt water.
 Now there's a man lying spent in the winter sun.
 He wonders what the hell he has done
 And who would ever pay
 To save his schooner daughter.
 For even afloat she's a hole in the water where his money goes.
 Every dollar goes
 And it's driving him crazy.
 He pounds his fists white on the dock in the night
 And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
 And licks the blood away.
 And he's gonna raise the Dolphin
