'Tis advertised in Boston, New York, and Buffalo,
Five hundred brave Americans a-whaling for to go.
CHORUS:
Singin' blow ye winds in the morning,
Blow ye winds, heigh ho,
Clear away your running gear,
And blow, blow, blow!
They'll send you to New Bedford town, that famous whaling port,
And hand you to some land-sharks there to board and fit you out. - Licensing
