[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]

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]

Oh, blow your winds in the morning,

Blow your winds high ho!

Clear away the morning dew,

and blow, boys, blow!

"Oh, carry me home to me father's gate,

before you put me down.

Oh, blow your winds in the morning,

Blow your winds high ho!

Clear away the morning dew,

And when she came to her father's gate,
F
oh, nimble stepped she in.

And said, "thou heart's a fool without,
Gm C
and I a maid within."
[Chorus]
F
Oh, blow your winds in the morning,

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!
