Westerly Winds Blow
Chorus
Oh, the westerly winds will blow
As we raise our sails to home
From our search for whales
In the southern ocean
For my girl she will be
Waiting there for me
As we sail into the port
Of Albany
Verse 1
Winds did roar
As we sailed from the shore
We soon will be chasing
Through the icy seas of the south
Chorus
Oh, the westerly winds will blow
As we raise our sails to home
From our search for whales
In the southern ocean
For my girl she will be
Waiting there for me
As we sail into the port
Of Albany
Verse 2
Watery spray freezes
And burns our cheeks
Hoisted high on lookout
For the telltale water spout
Harpoon is ready
We keep it steady
Hunting whales
In the Antarctic south
Chorus
Oh, the westerly winds will blow
As we raise our sails to home
From our search for whales
In the southern ocean
For my girl she will be
Waiting there for me
As we sail into the port
Of Albany
Verse 3
Its a damn tough life
I miss my wife
But I will be home soon
With three young children
Another on the way
I am working hard
For good pay days
Chorus
Oh, the westerly winds will blow
As we raise our sails to home
From our search for whales
In the southern ocean
For my girl she will be
Waiting there for me
As we sail into the port
Of Albany
