BLOW THE WIND SOUTHERLY (HOME TO MY DEAR). AKA and see "Kinloch (of Kinloch)," "Yellow John [1]." Scottish, English; Jig or Waltz. England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Stokoe): AA'BB' (Carlin). The 'A' part of this tune is the 'B' part of "Over the Water to Charlie," while the second strain is new. The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes, published c. 1800.

Blaw the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,

Blaw the wind southerly, south, or south-west;
My lad's at the bar, at the bar, at the bar,

My lad's at the bar whom I love best.

This is evidently a fragment of an older ballad, and is taken from Sharp's Bishoprick Garland. A variation of the last two lines has been sometimes heard from old songs:--

Blaw the lad ti' the bar, ti' the bar,
Blaw the lad ti' the bar that I love best. (Bruce & Stokoe, 1882)
