Southerly Wind (Larry W Jones 08/28/2019) (song #7585)

Blow you southerly wind
Southerly wind, southerly wind
Blow you southerly wind
O’er the deep and bonnie blue sea

Blow you southerly wind
Southerly wind, southerly wind
Blow you southerly wind
My own bonnie true love to me

A lad said in the town
New ships were in the harbor lee
So, I hurried on down
On down to the bonnie blue sea

Blow you southerly wind
Southerly wind, southerly wind
Blow you southerly wind
My own bonnie true love to me

My eyes could not see it
Just wherever her ship might be
The schooner, where be it
That brings my own true love to me

Blow you southerly wind
Southerly wind, southerly wind
Blow you southerly wind
My own bonnie true love to me

Oh nay, tis not so sweet
Southerly wind softly the breeze
Though lightly it does meet
The rolling deep bonnie blue sea

Blow you southerly wind
Southerly wind, southerly wind
Blow you southerly wind
My own bonnie true love to me

Blow you southerly wind
My own bonnie true love to me
