Lyrics: Blow the wind Southerly, Southerly, Southerly, Blow the wind South o−er 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 barque that is bearing my lover to me. The ships there were many a blowing and bowin− And bending right o−er in the salty sea foam; ‘Til my eye did behold it, As many had told it, The great bonnie ship of my lover come home. My sweetheart had fared through the winter unfriendly: His ship came along in the early spring tide. Now my heartache is ended; All rifts now are mended; My lover will soon be right here by my side. #BlowTheWindSoutherly #EchoverseWorldFolk #EnglishFolk #FolkBallad #CoastalFolk #CinematicFolk #TraditionalFolk #SeasideMusic #DreamPopFolk #FolkMusic #OldEnglishFolk #ModernFolk
