Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

'Tis advertised in Boston New York and Buffalo

Five hundred brave Americans a whaling for to go singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

They send you to New Bedford

A famous whaling port

And give you to some land sharks to board

And fit you out singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

They tell you of the clipper ships are runnin' in and out

And say you'll take five hundred sperm

Before you're six months out singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

And now we're out to sea my boys

The wind comes on to blow

One half the watch is sick on deck

The other half below singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

And blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

The skipper's on the quarter deck a squinting at the sails

When up above the lookout sights

A mighty school of whales singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

And blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

Then lower down the boats my boys

And after him we'll travel

But if you get too near his blue tail

He'll kick you to the devil singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

And now that he is ours my boys

We'll tow him alongside

Then over with our blubber hooks

And rob him of his hide singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho

When we get home our ship made fast

When we get through our sailin'

A brimming glass around we'll pass

And d**n this blubber whalin' singing

Blow ye winds in the morning

Blow ye winds high ho

Haul away your running gear

And blow ye winds high ho
