Blow the Wind Southerly Songtext

von Laura Wright

Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south over the bonnie blue sea
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow bonnie breeze my lover 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 bearing my lover to me

Blow the wind southerly
Southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south over the bonnie blue sea
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow bonnie breeze and bring him to me

Oh is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing
As lightly it comes over the deep rolling sea
But sweeter and dearer by far when tis bringing
The bark of my true love in safety to me
