Blow Ye Winds Lyrics - Kingston Trio

'Tis advertised in Boston 

New York and Buffalo 

A hundred hearty sailors 

A whalin' for to go 

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 

Blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho 

Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow 

The skipper's on the after deck 

A-squintin' at the sails 

When up above the lookout spots 

A mighty school of whales 

Blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho 

Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow 

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 

Blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho 

Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow 

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 

Blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho 

Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow 

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' 

Blow, ye winds, o' mornin', blow, ye winds, hi ho 

Haul away your runnin' gear and blow, boys, blow
