• Blow The Man Down

As I was a-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 corner and bluff in the bow…
I threw out my hawser and took her in tow

She said to me “Sir, will you stand the treat?”
“Delighted,” says I, “for a charmer so sweet”

It was up in her quarters she piped me aboard
And there on her bed I cut loose with my sword

But just as my cutter was forging ahead
She shouted “My husband!” and jumped out of bed

He was seven feet tall, had a chest like a horse
And right for my jawbone he plotted his course

He loosened my rigging, he kicked me in stays
I flew down the stairs like a ship on the way

I chanced on a packet that happened on by
And when I awoke I was bound for Shanghai

So I’ll give you fair warning before we belay
Don’t ever take heed of what pretty girls say
