English traditional folk song from Northumbria.

Lyrics
Blow the wind southerly southerly southerly
Blow the wind south o`er the bonny blue sea;
Blow the wind southerly southerly southerly
Blow bonnie breeze my lover to me.

They told me last night there were ships in the offing
And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea;
But my eye could not see it wherever might be it
The barque that is bearing my lover to me.

Blow the wind southerly southerly southerly
Blow bonnie breeze o`er the bonny blue sea;
Blow the wind southerly southerly southerly
Blow bonnie breeze and bring him to me.

Oh is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing
As lightly it comes o`er the deep rolling sea?
But sweeter and dearer by far when `tis bringing
The barque of my true love in safety to me.
