Blow Ye Winds

[Verse]
 G
'Tis advertised in Boston, New York,
 and Buffalo
  C             G          D
A hundred hardy sailors, a whalin' 
for to go

[Chorus]
         G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin',
 blow, ye winds, hi ho
C              G
Haul away your runnin' gear and 
blow, boys, blow

[Verse]
G
They tell you of the clipper ships 
a-runnin' in and out
     C                    G       
They say you'll take five hundred 
         D
whales before you're six months out

[Chorus]
         G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin',
 blow, ye winds, hi ho
C              G
Haul away your runnin' gear and 
blow, boys, blow

[Verse]
G
The skipper's on the after deck 
a-squintin' at the sails
     C            G               
When up above the lookout spots a 
D
mighty school of whales

[Chorus]
         G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin',
 blow, ye winds, hi ho
C              G
Haul away your runnin' gear and 
blow, boys, blow

[Verse]
G
Then lower down the boats, my boys, 
and after him we'll travel
    C              G              
But if you get too near his tail, 
      D
he'll kick you to the devil

[Chorus]
         G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin',
 blow, ye winds, hi ho
C              G
Haul away your runnin' gear and 
blow, boys, blow

[Verse]
G
And now that he is ours, my boys, 
we'll bring him alongside
     C             G              
Then over with our blubber hooks 
   D
and rob him of his hide

[Chorus]
         G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin',
 blow, ye winds, hi ho
C              G
Haul away your runnin' gear and 
blow, boys, blow

[Verse]
G
When we get home, our ship makes 
fast, and we get through our sailin'
  C                G              
A brimmin' glass, around we'll 
      D
pass and hang this blubber whalin'

[Chorus]
         G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin',
 blow, ye winds, hi ho
C              G
Haul away your runnin' gear and 
blow, boys, blow, blow, boys, blow
