- Blow the wind southerly
-
-
- Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
- Blow the wind south oΓÇÖer the bonny blue sea.
- Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
- Blow, bonny breeze, my lover to me.
-
- They told me last night there were ships in the offing,
- As I hurried down to the deep rolling sea;
- But I could not see it, wherever might be it,
- The bark that is bearing my lover to me.
-
- Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
- Blow the wind south oΓÇÖer the bonny blue sea.
- Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
- Blow, bonny breeze, and bring him to me.
-
- Is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing,
- As lightly it comes oΓÇÖer the deep rolling sea;
- But sweeter and dearer by far ΓÇÿtis, when bringing
- The bark of my true love in safety to me.
