Blow The Wind Southerly

Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly Blow the wind south o'er 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 And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea But my eye could not see it, wherever might be it The barque that is bearing my lover to me Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly Blow, bonny breeze, o'er 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 o'er the deep rolling sea? But sweeter and dearer by far 'tis When bringing the barque of my true love In safety to me.
