Blow The Wind Westerly
new foundland shanty
Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com
Up jumps a crab with his crooked legs
Saying - you play the cribbage and I'll stick the pegs
CHORUS:
Singing blow the wind westerly, let the wind blow
By a gentle nor'wester how steady she goes
Up jumps a dolphin with his chuckle-head
He jumps on the deck saying pull out the lead...CHORUS
Up jumps a flounder so flat on the ground
Saying damn your old chocolate, mind how you sound...CHORUS
Up jumps a salmon so bright as the sun
He jumped down between the decks and fired off a gun...CHORUS
Up jumps a whale, the biggest of all
He jumped up aloft and he's pawl after pawl...CHORUS
Up jumps a herring, the king of the sea
He jumps up on deck saying - helms a-lee...CHORUS
Up jumps a shark with his big row of teeth
He jumped up between the decks and shook out the reefs...
CHORUS
