Blow the Wind Southerly - Lesley Garrett

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

My true love 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.

Is it not sweet

To hear the breeze singing

As gently it comes

O’er the deep rolling sea?

But sweeter and endearing

By far 'tis when steering

The bark of my true love

Back safely to me.
