Blow Away the Morning Dew
[Verse 1]
There was a shepherd boy
Keeping sheep upon the hill
He laid his bow and arrow down
Hope for to take his fill

[Chorus]
Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew
And blow, boys, blow

[Verse 2]
Well, he looked high and he looked low
He gave a downright look
And there he spied a pretty maid
A-swimming in the brook ([?])

[Chorus]
Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew
And blow, boys, blow

[Verse 3]
Oh, carry me home to my father's gates
Before you put me down
And you should have my maiden head
And twenty thousand pounds
[Chorus]
Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew
And blow, boys, blow

[Verse 4]
And when she came to her father's gates
Oh, nimble-stepped she in
And said the hearts of fool without
And I a maid within

[Chorus]
Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew
And blow, boys, blow
Clear away the morning dew
And blow, boys, blow
