[Verse 1]
   C                                                C7
As I ga'ed oot one morning fair to view the meadows round
     F             C                D                 G
Well there I saw a pretty girl come trippin' o'er the ground

[Chorus]

My father has a milk white steed he keeps it in the stall
   F               C               D               G
It winnae eat it's hay or corn and it winnae go at all

[Chorus]
     C
Sing blow ye winds in the morning blow ye winds aye-o
F              C                G7          C

[Verse 3]
  C                                                  C7
I told my tale unto the maid she laughed right in my face
   F                     C                  D                     G
So I took her off to the horses stall and I put her in the horses place

[Chorus]
     C
Sing blow ye winds in the morning blow ye winds aye-o
F              C                G7          C
Clear away the runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow

[Verse 4]
    C                                             C7
She says this is an awful thing to treat a maiden so
     F                 C             D                 G
Take off the reins and halter and to sea with you I'll go

Sing blow ye winds in the morning blow ye winds aye-o
F              C                G7          C
Clear away the runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow

[Verse 5]
    C                                               C7
She dressed up in her Sunday best to meet me at the church
       F                 C                D                 G
But my lugger sailed the night before and I left her in the lurch

[Chorus]

To my fathers farm I can't go back for fear she might be there
        F                C             D              G
And the marriage game is not for me to that I roundly swear

F              C                G7          C
Clear away the runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow

[Chorus]
