Blow Ye Winds
(Traditional, alternate lyrics by David Ruffin)

I heard it said down Kingston way
And off in old Rio
There’s money and fightin’ to be had
If a-piratin’ ye go

(Chorus)
Blow ye winds in the mornin’
Blow ye winds, Hi-Ho
Clear away our running gear
And blow ye winds, Hi-Ho

We’ll load our guns with cannonballs
Our sails we’ll load with rum
And sure we’ll take a galleon
Before the week is done

The captain’s on the quarterdeck
The Bosun’s at the rail
Be careful where you step, me lads
I fear he’s missed the pail

The Cabin Boy is down below
And probably on his knees
The Gunner’s eatin’ lard and cheese
And helping with the breeze

The Surgeon’s got his saw in hand
And everybody hides
I know he’s drunk up all the rum
We should have left him tied

You see the Lookout’s way up top
And scratchin’ in his pants
I fear that swabbie’s got the crabs
I think it was in France

When we get home, our ship made fast
You’ll find us drinkin’ rum
And chasin’ wenches ‘round the bar
I’d like to catch me one
