Blow Away the Morning Dew

There was a shepherd boy keeping sheep upon the hill
He laid his bow and arrow down hope for to take his fill

Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew and blow, boys, blow!

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

Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew and blow, boys, blow!

Oh, carry me home to my father's gates before you put me down
Then you shall have my maiden head and twenty thousand pounds

Oh, blow your winds in the mornin'
Blow your winds high ho!
Clear away the morning dew and blow, boys, blow!

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

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!
