Clarence Eugene "Hank" Snow (Born May 9, 1914 in Brooklyn, Queens County, Nova Scotia; died December 20, 1999) was a Canadian country music singer-songwriter. Perhaps best known for his distinct yodelling, he charted more than seventy singles on the Billboard country charts from 1950 until 1980, including the Number One hits 'I'm Movin' On' and 'I Don't Hurt Anymore'. Performing in lavish and colourful sequin-studded suits, Snow had a career covering six decades during which he sold more than 80 million albums

BLUEBIRD ISLAND Recorded by Hank Snow & Anita Carter Words and music by Hank Snow
[C] My [G7] ship set [C] sail to [F] Bluebird [C] Island And slowly [G7] drifted out to [C] sea Her [G7] silver [C] sails to [F] cross the [C] ocean My lover's [G7] lonely heart set [C] free.
[C] Then out a-[F] cross the [C] waves, the [G7] bluebirds [C] came one day Out [G7] o'er the silver sea, your [C] message brought to me To [D] sail my ship of love along the [G7] moonlit bay And [D] anchor in the harbor of your [G7] heart.
[NC] The trade winds [C] there on [F] Bluebird [C] Island Soon dried her [G7] lonely tears a-[C] way The [G7] treasure [C] I found [F] broken-[C] hearted Was locked [G7] within my heart to [C] stay.
