Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder
Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay
Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow
And don't you know I've got to make it there today

And I just can't figure why
All these other boats are passin by
Oh but honey I'm determined to prevail
So I think i might just put up my mainsail

Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder
Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay
Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow
And don't you know I've got to make it there today

I woke up at the crack of dawn
Well more like the crack of noon
Drank my breakfast on the bow
And got out real soon
But I didn't get too far at all
At least not until I dropped my mooring ball

Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder
Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay
Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow
And don't you know I've got to make it there today

Then a vision came to me
A pretty mermaid swimmin through a silver sea
And I think I've got to thank her
For reminding me to pull up on my anchor

Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder
Cuz my baby's waitin in Loblolly bay
Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow
And don't you know I've got to make it there today

By the sunset light I hailed her
But she said she could never love such a lousy sailor
Now my love is out of reach
Wrecked upon that cruel, cruel beach

Oh winds of Anegada won't you blow a little harder
Cuz my baby's broke my heart in Loblolly bay
Breezes won't you blow, cuz this old boat she goes so slow
And don't you know that I am tryin to sail away
