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 lover 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 bark that is bearing my lover to me Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly Blow the wind south o'er the bonnie blue sea Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly Blow bonnie breeze, and bring him to me 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 'tis when bringing The bark of my true love in safety to me Blow bonnie breeze and bring him to me
