Of all the harbors, east or west,
\nThere is one port that I love best;
\nSo whichever way the wind doth blow
\nI’ll steer for the bonny Bay of Biscay-O.<\/p>\n

cho: For the girl I love is waiting there<\/em>
\nWith her eyes of blue and her golden hair,<\/em>
\nSo I eastward hi, and westward ho<\/em>
\nBut return to the bonny Bay of Biscay-O!<\/em><\/p>\n

At night in my hammock I will sleep
\nAs I sail upon the briny deep,
\nThough the tempests rage and the wild winds blow
\nI’ll dream of the bonny Bay of Biscay-O.
\ncho:<\/p>\n

In one more year, I will settle down
\nWith my bride in this free seaport town,
\nShe is sweeter and dearer by far, I know
\nThan the wind of the bonny Bay of Biscay-O.<\/p>\n

(Collected by Frank Warner from Mrs. Lena Bourne Fish;
\nrecorded by Warner on Hudson Valley Folk Songs, DISC Records,
\nlate 1940’s)<\/p>\n
