On wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling sea

Angels are coming to watch over thee

Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep

So list' to the wind coming over the deep

Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

The currachs are sailing way out on the blue
D
Laden with herring of silvery hue
A
Oh, silver the herring, silver the sea
D
Soon there'll be silver for baby and me

Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

[Verse]
A
The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore
D
And Daddy goes sailing, a-sailing no more
A
The nets will be drying, the net's heaven blessed
D
And safe in my arms, contended he'll rest

A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the whisper
D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
