Once upon a time there lived a man,
in that third town called
Blow you winds of mornin',
blow you winds of mornin',
Now Peter fell in love all
The first two letters of her name
Blow you winds of mornin',
blow you winds high -oh -ho
Blow you winds of mornin',
Just as they was about to wed,
And coincidentally she was
Blow you winds of mornin',
Blow you winds of mornin',
When Peter heard his love was lost,
He'd half a mind to jump into
Blow you winds of mornin',
Blow you winds of mornin',
But he went traveling to the west,
his fortune to find there,
And he was caught and eaten up
by a big fat grizzly bear.
Blow you winds of mornin',
Blow you winds of mornin',
When Lucy Annie heard the news,
she straightway took to bed,
And never did get up again until she died.
Blow, ye winds of mornin',
Blow, ye winds of mornin',
You fathers all a -warning,
take each one who has a girl,
And think upon poor Peter Gray
Blow, ye winds of mornin',
Blow, ye winds of mornin',
