[Chorus]
Sing, blow ye winds, hi-ho, whaling I will go
I'll stay no more round Ireland's shores so let the music play
I'll be off on the morning train to cross the raging main,
I'm on the move to my true love, ten thousand miles away.

[Verse]
Oh, my love, she is beautiful and my love she is young,
Her hair is blue as a violet's hue and silvery is her tongue,
Silvery is her tongue, me boys and while I sing this lie,
She's doing a brand in a far off land ten thousand miles away.

[Chorus]
Sing, blow ye winds, hi-ho, whaling I will go
I'll stay no more round Ireland's shores so let the music play
I'll be off on the morning train to cross the raging main,
I'm on the move to my true love, ten thousand miles away.

[Verse]
Sad and bitter was the day I parted with me Peg,
She'd a government brand upon each hand and another one round her leg,
Another one down her leg, me boys, as the good ship sailed away,
"Adieu," says she, "Remember me ten thousand miles away."

[Chorus]
Sing, blow ye winds, hi-ho, whaling I will go
I'll stay no more round Ireland's shores so let the music play
I'll be off on the morning train to cross the raging main,
I'm on the move to my true love, ten thousand miles away.

[Verse]
If I could be a boatswain bold or even a bombardier,
I'd pile aboard and hurry afloat and to my true love steer,
And to my true love, steer, me boys, where the dancing dolphins play,
And the whales and the sharks, they're having their larks ten thousand miles away.

[Chorus]
Sing, blow ye winds, hi-ho, whaling I will go
I'll stay no more round Ireland's shores so let the music play
I'll be off on the morning train to cross the raging main,
I'm on the move to my true love, ten thousand miles away.

[Verse]
The sun may shine to the Liffey for the Liffey will run quite clear,
On a peeler man when one thing found or I forget me beer,
Or I forget me beer, me boys, on the landlord's quarter day,
But I can't forget me own true, love ten thousand miles away.

[Chorus]
Sing, blow ye winds, hi-ho, whaling I will go
I'll stay no more round Ireland's shores so let the music play
I'll be off on the morning train to cross the raging main,
I'm on the move to my true love, ten thousand miles away. (Woo!).
