Blow Ye Winds - Kingston Trio/Guard
Written by:Guard
This advertised in Boston New York and buffalo
A hundred hearty sailors a whaling for to go
Blow ye winds O' morning blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your running gear and blow boys blow
They tell you of the clipper ships a running in and out
They say you'll take five hundred whales
Before you're six months out
Blow ye winds O' morning blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your running gear and blow boys blow
The skipper's on the after deck a squinting at the sails
When up above the lookout spots a mighty school of whales
Blow ye winds O' morning blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your running gear and blow boys blow
Then lower down the boats my boys
And after him we'll travel
But if you get too near his tail
He'll kick you to the devil
Blow ye winds O' morning blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your running gear and blow boys blow
And now that he is ours my boys
We'll bring him alongside
Then over with our blubber hooks
And rob him of his hide
Blow ye winds O' morning blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your running gear and blow boys blow
When we get home our ship made fast
And we get through our sailing
A brimming glass around
We'll pass and hang this blubber whaling
Blow ye winds O' morning blow ye winds hi ho
Haul away your running gear and blow boys blow
Blow boys blow
