[Verse 1]
F
There was a shepherd boy,
F
keeping sheep upon the hill.
   Gm
He laid his bow and arrow down.
   Gm              C
ho for to take his fill.

[Chorus]
    F
Oh, blow your winds in the morning,
F
Blow your winds high ho!
Bb             Gm
Clear away the morning dew,
    Gm    C     F
and blow, boys, blow!

[Verse 2]
    F
Oh, he looked high and he looked low,
   F
he gave a downright look.
    Gm
And there he spied a pretty maid.
  Gm              C
a-swimming in the brook.

[Chorus]
    F
Oh, blow your winds in the morning,
F
Blow your winds high ho!
Bb             Gm
Clear away the morning dew,
    Gm    C     F
and blow, boys, blow!

[Verse 3]
     F
"Oh, carry me home to me father's gate,
  F
before you put me down.
    Gm
And you shall have my maidenhead,
    Gm              C
and twenty-thousand pounds."

[Chorus]
    F
Oh, blow your winds in the morning,
F
Blow your winds high ho!
Bb             Gm
Clear away the morning dew,
    Gm    C     F
and blow, boys, blow!

[Verse 4]
    F
And when she came to her father's gate,
    F
oh, nimble stepped she in.
    Gm
And said, "thou heart's a fool without,
    Gm           C
and I a maid within."

[Chorus]
    F
Oh, blow your winds in the morning,
F
Blow your winds high ho!
Bb             Gm
Clear away the morning dew,
    Gm    C     F
and blow, boys, blow!
Bb             Gm
Clear away the morning dew,
    Gm    C     F
and blow, boys, blow!
