 4   -3*  3*   -1*  1 -1*
Blow the wind South-er-ly
 -2   1* -2  -1*  1 -1*
South-er-ly South-er-ly

Blow the wind South o’er
-1* -2  -3*  3    3*
The bon-nie blue sea

Blow bon-nie breeze.
-1* -2 -3* 3 3*
My lov-er to me
 4    4   4   -5*  -3*
They told me last night
 -3*   -5*   3* -3*  3*  3  -2
There were ships in the off-ing
-1* 4  4   -5*  -3*
And I hur-ried down
-3* -5* -5   5   -5  -5*
To the deep roll-ing sea
-5*-5* -6   -6   -6  -5* -5*
But my eye could not see it
-5*  5* 5*   5*  5 -3*
Wher-ev-er might be it
 3*  4    -3* 3*  -2   4*
The bark that is bear-ing 
4  -3* 3* 3  3*
My lov-er to me
