From Shanties from the Seven Seas: Shipboard Work-songs and Songs
Stan Hugill, 1961



BLOW YE WINDS (a)

verse 3:
When we goes in a farmer's yard an' sees a great big duck,
We catch him an' we wring his neck, if we have any luck.


Chorus
Singing blow, ye winds in the mornin',
Blow, ye winds, high-ho!
Sea all clear yer runnin' gear,
An' blow, me bully boys, blow!


Hugill states that the following is sometimes used in the above verse:

We dang their eyes and curse their thighs and knock down five or six.
