Blow the Man Down

歌詞

As I was out walkin' down Paradise street To me way, hey, blow the man down A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet Give me some time to blow the man down She was round in the counter and bluff in the bow Way, hey, blow the man down So I took in all sail and cried "way enough now" Give me some time to blow the man down I hailed her in English, she answered me clear To me way, hey, blow the man down "I'm from the Black Arrow bound to the Shakespeare" Give me some time to blow the man down So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow To me way, hey, blow the man down And yard-arm to yard-arm, away we did go Give me some time to blow the man down But as we were a-going she said unto me To me way, hey, blow the man down "There's a spankin' full rigger just ready for sea" Give me some time to blow the man down That spankin' full rigger to New York was bound To me way, hey, blow the man down She was very well mannered and very well found Give me some time to blow the man down But as soon as that packet was clear of the bar To me way, hey, blow the man down The mate knocked me down with the end of a spar Give me some time to blow the man down As soon as that packet was out on the sea To me way, hey, blow the man down 'Twas devilish hard treatment of every degree Give me some time to blow the man down So I give you fair warning before we belay To me way, hey, blow the man down Don't never take heed of what pretty girls say Give me some time to blow the man down
