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.

The told me last night there are ships in the offing
And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea
But my eye could not see it where'er it might be
The barque that is bearing my lover to me.

Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow the wind south that my lover may come,
Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow bonny breeze and bring him safe home.

I stood by the lighthouse that last time we parted
Till darkness came o'er the deep rolling sea
And I no longer saw the bright barque of my lover
Blow bonny breeze and bring him to me.

Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow the wind south o'er the bonny blue sea
Blow the wind southerly ...
Blow bonny breeze my lover to me.

Is it 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.
