Lyrics

1. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good
   Blows nobody good they say
   If anybody knows I certainly should
   ‘Cause it blew my gal away

Refrain
Breeze that blew my gal away
I’ve had the blues all day
Since early morn you came
A-whispering thru the trees
When I woke up this morning she was gone
(Sweet) Breeze, you blew her from my side
She was my blushing bride
So, hear my plea
Hear me beggin you upon my knees
Blow her back sweet evenin’ breeze
Blow my baby back to me

2. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good
   Blows nobody good they say
   I said a little prayer right down on my knees
   And it blew her back today
