| 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 and bring him 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 bringing my lover to me
|
| Blow the wind southerly, southerly souterlay
|
| Blow the wind south 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 from the deep rolling sea
|
| But sweeter and dearer, my heart is wandering
|
| The welcome of my true love in safety to me
|
| Blow bonnie breeze and bring him to me |
