BLOW YE WINDS IN THE MORNING

`Tis advertised in Boston, New York, and Buffalo:
Five hundred brave Americans a-whalin` for to go.

Chorus:
Singing Blow ye winds in the morning,
Blow ye winds, high-ho!
Clear away your runnin` gear,
And blow, boys, blow!
(or: And blow, ye winds high-ho!)

They send you to New Bedford, that famous whaling port,
And give you to some land sharks to board and fit you out.

They send you to a boardin` house, there for a time to dwell;
The thieves there they are thicker than the other side of Hell.
They tell you of the clipper ships a-runnin` in and out,
And say you`ll take five hundred sperm before you`re six months
out.

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.

The skipper`s on the quarterdeck a-squintin` at the sails,
When up aloft the lookout spots a mighty school of whales.

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.

When we`ve caught a whale, my boys, we`ll bring `im alongside,
Then over with our blubber-hooks and rob him of his hide.

When we get home, our ship made fast, when we get through our
sailin`,
A brimming glass around we`ll pass, and damn this blubber
whalin`.
Some singers invariably sing `me boys` for `my boys,` and other variations
occur, too.
The song is sometimes called the `Boston Come-Ye-All,`( with the line `Come all
you bold
Americans, a-whalin` for to go.` in verse one ) and sometimes `Blow, Boys,
Blow.`
