The Man Down
I'll sing you a song, a good song of the sea
With a way, hey, blow the man down
And trust that you'll join in the chorus with me
Give me some time to blow the man down

There was an old skipper I don't know his name
With a way, hey, blow the man down
Although he once played a remarkable game
Give me some time to blow the man down

His ship lay be-calmed in the tropical sea
With a way, hey, blow the man down
He whistled all day but in vain for a breeze
Give me some time to blow the man down.

Blow the Man Down
Sea Shanty

Come all ya young fellers that follow the sea,
With a yo ho! Blow the man down,
Now just pay attention and listen to me,
Give me some time to blow the man down.

Aboard the Black Baller* I first served my time,
With a yo ho! Blow the man down,
But on the Black Baller I wasted my time,
Give me some time to blow the man down.

We'd tinkers and tailors and sailors and all
With a yo ho! Blow the man down,
That sailed for good seaman aboard the Black Ball.
Give me some time to blow the man down.

'Tis larboard and starboard, on the deck you will crawl,
With a yo ho! Blow the man down,
For Kicking Jack Williams commands the Black Ball.
Give me some time to blow the man down.

Now when the Black Baller's preparin' for sea
With a yo ho! Blow the man down,
You'd bust your sides laughin' at the sights that you see.
Give me some time to blow the man down.

But when the Black Baller is clear of the land,
With a yo ho! Blow the man down.
Old Kicking Jack Williams gives ev'ry command
Give me some time to blow the man down.
