[Verse 1]
A Ccapital ship for an ocean trip
Was the "G7Walloping Window CBlind"
No Fwind that D7blew disGmayed her crew
Or Amtroubled the D7captain's Gmind
The Cman at the wheel was made to feel
ConFtempt Cfor the G7wildCest G7blow
Tho' it Coften appeared when the weather had cleared
That he'd G7been in his Cbunk below
[Chorus]
CSo, blow ye winds, heigh-ho
A-Fsailing we G7will Cgo
I'll stay no G7more Con FEngland's Cshore
So Flet Cthe G7musCic G7play
I'm Coff for the morning train
To Fcross the G7raging Cmain
I'm off to my G7love Cwith a Fboxing Cglove
Ten Fthousand G7miles Caway
[Verse 2]
The Cbos'un's mate was very sedate
Yet G7fond of amusement Ctoo
He Fplayed hop-D7scotch with the Gstarboard watch
WhAmile the captain D7tickled the Gcrew
The Cgunner he was apparently mad
For Fhe sat Con G7the CafterG7rail
And Cfired salutes with the captain's boots
In the G7teeth of a Cbooming gale
[Chorus]
CSo, blow ye winds, heigh-ho
A-Fsailing we G7will Cgo
I'll stay no G7more Con FEngland's Cshore
So Flet Cthe G7musCic G7play
I'm Coff for the morning train
To Fcross the G7raging Cmain
I'm off to my G7love Cwith a Fboxing Cglove
Ten Fthousand G7miles Caway
[Verse 3]
The Ccaptain sat on the commodore's hat
And G7dined in a royal Cway
Off Fpickles & D7figs & Glittle roast pigs
And Amgunnery D7bread each Gday
The Ccook was Dutch and behaved as such
For Fthe Cdiet he G7served Cthe G7crew
Was a Ccouple of tons of hot-cross buns
Served G7up with sugar and Cglue
[Chorus]
CSo, blow ye winds, heigh-ho
A-Fsailing we G7will Cgo
I'll stay no G7more Con FEngland's Cshore
So Flet Cthe G7musCic G7play
I'm Coff for the morning train
To Fcross the G7raging Cmain
I'm off to my G7love Cwith a Fboxing Cglove
Ten Fthousand G7miles Caway
[Verse 4]
Then Cwe all fell ill as mariners will
On a G7diet that's rough and Ccrude
And we Fshivered and D7shook as we Gdipped the cook
In a Amtub of his D7gluesome Gfood
All Cnautical pride we cast aside
And Fwe Cran the G7vessCel aG7shore
On the CGulliby Isles where the poopoo smiles
And the G7rubbily ubdugs Croar
[Chorus]
CSo, blow ye winds, heigh-ho
A-Fsailing we G7will Cgo
I'll stay no G7more Con FEngland's Cshore
So Flet Cthe G7musCic G7play
I'm Coff for the morning train
To Fcross the G7raging Cmain
I'm off to my G7love Cwith a Fboxing Cglove
Ten Fthousand G7miles Caway
[Verse 5]
ComCposed of sand was that favored land
And G7trimmed with cinnamon Cstraws
And Fpink and D7blue was the Gpleasing hue
Of the Amtickle-toe D7teaser's Gclaws
We Csat on the edge of a sandy ledge
And Fshot at Cthe G7whistCling G7bee
While the Crugabug bats wore waterproof hats
As they G7dipped in the Cshining sea
[Chorus]
CSo, blow ye winds, heigh-ho
A-Fsailing we G7will Cgo
I'll stay no G7more Con FEngland's Cshore
So Flet Cthe G7musCic G7play
I'm Coff for the morning train
To Fcross the G7raging Cmain
I'm off to my G7love Cwith a Fboxing Cglove
Ten Fthousand G7miles Caway
[Verse 6]
On Crugabug bark from dawn till dark
We G7dined till we all Chad grown
UnFcommonly sD7hrunk when a GChinese junk
Came Amup from the D7Torrible GZone
She was Cstubby and square, but we didn't much care
So we FmerrCily G7put Cto G7sea
And we Cleft all the crew of the junk to chew
On the G7bark of the Crubabug tree
[Chorus]
CSo, blow ye winds, heigh-ho
A-Fsailing we G7will Cgo
I'll stay no G7more Con FEngland's Cshore
So Flet Cthe G7musCic G7play
I'm Coff for the morning train
To Fcross the G7raging Cmain
I'm off to my G7love Cwith a Fboxing Cglove
Ten Fthousand G7miles Caway
