"Blow The Wind Southerly"
Traditional English Folk Song
Blow the wind southerly, southerly,
southerly,
Blow the wind south o'er the bonny blue
sea;
Blow the wind southerly, southerly,
southerly,
Blow bonnie breeze, my love to me.
They told me last night there were ships
in the offing,
And I hurried down to the deep rolling
sea;
But my eye could not see it wherever
might be it,
The barque that is bearing my love to
me.
Blow the wind southerly, southerly,
southerly,
Blow the wind south o'er the bonny blue
sea;
Blow the wind southerly, southerly,
southerly,
Blow bonnie breeze, and bring love to
me.
Oh, is it not sweet to hear the breeze
singing,
As lightly it comes o'er the deep rolling
sea?
But sweeter and dearer by far is it when
bringing
The barque of my true love is waiting for
me
