Traditional: Blow The Wind Southerly - Laura Wright

Blow the wind southerly

Southerly, southerly

Blow the wind south over the bonnie 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 over the bonnie blue sea

Blow the wind southerly

Southerly, southerly

Blow bonnie breeze and bring him to me

Oh is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing

As lightly it comes over the deep rolling sea

But sweeter and dearer by far when tis bringing

The bark of my true love in safety to me
