[Verse]
G
'Tis advertised in Boston, New York, and Buffalo
C G D
A hundred hardy sailors, a whalin' for to go
[Chorus]
G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho
C G
Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow
[Verse]
G
They tell you of the clipper ships a-runnin' in and out
C G D
They say you'll take five hundred whales before you're six months out
[Chorus]
G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho
C G
Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow
[Verse]
G
The skipper's on the after deck a-squintin' at the sails
C G D
When up above the lookout spots a mighty school of whales
[Chorus]
G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho
C G
Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow
[Verse]
G
Then lower down the boats, my boys, and after him we'll travel
C G D
But if you get too near his tail, he'll kick you to the devil
[Chorus]
G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho
C G
Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow
[Verse]
G
And now that he is ours, my boys, we'll bring him alongside
C G D
Then over with our blubber hooks and rob him of his hide
[Chorus]
G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho
C G
Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow
[Verse]
G
When we get home, our ship makes fast, and we get through our sailin'
C G D
A brimmin' glass, around we'll pass and hang this blubber whalin'
[Chorus]
G
Singing, blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho
C G
Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow, blow, boys, blow
