(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' gla*s around we'll pa*s and hang this blubber whalin'.

[Chorus]
