CHORUS

Just to see how the wind do blow

Just to see how the wind do blow

For you open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the wind do blow

Now me Dad was a fisherman bold

And he lived till he grew old

'Cause he'd open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

Now me Dad he says to me

If you're ever going to go to sea

Do you open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

Now when the cold North wind do blow

Then it's we lie snug below

'Cause we open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

When the wind comes up from the East

It isn't fit for man nor beast

Still I open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

When the wind comes up from the West

She's going to blowup rough at best

So I open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

But when the South wind soft do blow

Well there ain't enough wind to go

Still, I open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

When me wife she says to me

We'll starve if you don't go

Well, I open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.

CHORUS

So if you'd be a fisherman bold

And you'd live till you grow old

Do you open the pane and pop out the flame

Just to see how the winds do blow.
