Blow Ye Winds — текст песни (Kingston Trio)

Dave Guard

`Tis advertised in Boston, New York, and Buffalo a hundred hearty sailors, a whalin` for to go.

Chorus:
Blow, ye winds, O` mornin`, blow, ye winds, hi ho. Haul away your runnin` gear and blow, boys, blow.

They tell you of the clipper ships a-runnin` in and out. They say you`ll take five hundred whales before you`re six months out.

(Chorus)

The skipper`s on the after deck a-squintin` at the sails. When up above the lookout spots a mighty school of whales.

(Chorus)

Then lower down the boats, my boys, and after him we`ll travel but if you get too near his tail, he`ll kick you to the devil.

(Chorus)

And now that he is ours, my boys, we`ll bring him alongside. Then over with our blubber hooks and rob him of his hide.

(Chorus)

When we get home, our ship made fast, and we get through our sailin`. A brimmin` glass around we`ll pass and hang this blubber whalin`.

(Chorus)
