John Raitt - Blow High, Blow Low Lyrics

Men
Blow high, blow low,
Away then we will go
We'll go away in the sailin' away
Away we'll go
Blow me high an' low,
For many an' many a long long day.
For many an' many a long long day!

The people who live inland
Are hard to understand
When you're lookin' for fun
They clap you into jail!
So I'm shippin' off to see
Where life is gay an' free.
An' a fella can flip a hook
In the hip of a whale.

Blow high, blow low,
Away then we will go
We'll go away in the sailin' away
Away we'll go
Blow me high an' low,
For many an' many a long long day.
For many an' many a long long day!

It's wonderful just to feel
Your hands upon the wheel,
An' listen to wind a-whistlin' in the sail
But I'm climbin' off to be
The very first to see
A corset woman's spout
Come out o' the snore of a whale

Blow high, blow low,
Away then we will go
We'll go away in the sailin' away
Away we'll go
Blow me high an' low,
For many an' many a long long day.
For many an' many a long long day!

A-rockin' upon the sea, your boat'll seem to be
Like a dear little baby in her bassinet.
For she hasn't leaned to walk,
An' she hasn't learned to talk,
An' a little behind is kind of inclined to be wet.

Blow high, blow low,
Away then we will go
We'll go away in the sailin' away
Away we'll go
Blow me high an' low,
For many an' many a long long day.
For many an' many a long long day!
