Tis' advertised in Boston, New York and Buffalo
Five hundred brave sailor-men a-whalin' for to go
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
They'll tell you of the clipper ships, goin' in and out
And say you'll take 500 whale before you're 6 months out
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
They'll take you to New Bedford town, that famous whalin' port
And give ya' to some land sharks that'll board and fit you out
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
Next comes the runnin' riggin' which you're all supposed to know
Stay aloft, you son of a gun or all aboard you will go
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
The skippers on the quarter-deck, squintin' at the sails
And up aloft the lookout sights a mighty school of whales
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
So clear away the boats me boys, and after him we'll travel
But if you get too near a sloop, he'll kick you to the devil
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
When we get home, our ship made port and we get through our sailin'
A brimmin' glass around we'll pass and damn this blubber whalin'
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
Singin! Blow ye' winds in the mornin' men
Blow ye' winds hi-ho! An' haul away your runnin' gear
And blow ye' winds hi-ho!
An' haul away your runnin' gear and blow ye' winds hi-ho!
