And the whirlwind rolls                  Blow, blow, down
I'll shake your windows                  Blow, blow, down
And rattle your door                     Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards

They're washing the streets              Blow, blow, down
With the blood of your kind              Blow, blow, down
Ah, look over your shoulder              Blow, blow, down
They're right behind                     Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards

The birds are wheeling                   Blow, blow, down
Up above your head                       Blow, blow, down
All your days are numbered               Blow, blow, down
You're as good as dead                   Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards

This very fine house                     Blow, blow, down
Of great renown                          Blow, blow, down
It's cracked and shaky                   Blow, blow, down
And a-tumbling down                      Blow, blow, down

Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
