Blow the Wind Southerly

Refrain
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south o’er the bonny blue sea;
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow bonnie breeze, my true love to me.

1. 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 true love to me. Refrain

2. I stood by the lighthouse the last time we parted,
Till darkness came down o’er the deep rolling sea,
And no longer I saw the bright bark of my true love.
Blow, bonny breeze and bring him to me. Refrain
