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
