Version 1
            [Verse]
      E             B
Come all you bold sailormen
E
Listen to me
     A           E           B           E
I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                          B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E               B          E
First comes the bluefish a waggin' his tail
    A            E               B               E
He comes off on deck and yells, "All hands make sail!"

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E              B          E
Next comes the eels with their nimble tails
      A         E         B              E
They jumped up aloft and loosed all the sails

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E              B         E
Next comes the porpoise with his short snout
    A           E                  B      E
He jumps on the bridge and yells, "Ready about!"

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E              B               E
Next comes the swordfish, the scourge of the sea
     A       E            B      E
The order he gives us is "Helms alee!"

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E       B                 E
Having accomplished these wonderful feats
     A              E           B                 E
The blackfish sings out next to ríes, tacks, and sheets

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E              B              E
Then comes the mackerel with his striped back
    A             E                  B              E
He plopped on the bridge and yelled "Board the main tack"

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E              B            E
Then come the catfish with his chucklehead
A          E                 B            E
Out in the main chains for a heave of the lead

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
E               B        E
Last comes the whale the biggest of all
        A            E             B             E
Singing out from the bridge, "auld haht maintzel hal"

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes

[Verse]
      E            B           E
Well, up jumps the fisherman, stalwart and grim
    A            E       B               E
And with his big net, he scoops 'em all in

[Refrain]
 E                        A        E
Blow you winds westerly, westerly blow
        E                         B          E
We're bound for the south'ard so steady she goes
