Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly Blow the wind south where´s 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 where´s 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 when ´tis bringing The barque of my true love in safety to me
