'''BLOW THE WINDS I-HO'''. English, Air (4/4 time). England, Northumberland. D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song has some antiquity to it, and was issued on broadside sheets. It is said to bear considerable resemblance to "The Baffled Knight; or, Lady's Policy" in Percy's '''Reliques'''. The lyrics begin:

<blockquote>''There was a shepherd's son, He kept sheep on yonder hill;''<br>
''He laid his pipe and crook aside, And there he slept his fill.''<br>
''And blow the winds, I-ho! Sing, blow the winds, I-ho!''<br>
''Clear away the morning dew, And blow the winds, I-ho!''</blockquote>
