Blow wind blow, wherever you may go
Put on your overcoat, take me away
You gotta take me on into the night
Take me on into the night
Blow me away, blow me away

Mary's on the black top
There's a husband in the dog house
In the middle of a shakedown
I got quiet as a churchmouse
Put my Raleighs on the dashboard
Sugar daddy caught a polo-car
There's no solitary tap dance way down here

Blow wind blow, wherever you may go
Put on your overcoat, take me into the night
Take me into the night, blow me away

I ride upon a field mouse
I was dancin' in the slaughterhouse
And it was swing along the beltway
You skid along there all day
'Cause I went a little crazy
And I sat upon a high chair
And I'm smokin like a diesel way out here

And if you blow wind blow, wherever you may go
Put on your overcoat, take me away
You gotta to take me on into the night
Well, you take me on into the night
Blow me away
Blow me away
You gotta blow mw away, blow me away, yeah
