"Blow The Man Down" lyrics

"Blow The Man Down"

Come all you young fellows who follow the sea
Wey hey, blow the man down
And pray pay attention and listen to me
Gimme some time to blow the man down

I'm a deep water sailor just in from Hong Kong
Wey hey, blow the man down
If you buy me a drink, then I'll sing you a song
Gimme some time to blow the man down

Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Wey hey, blow the man down
Blow him right back into Liverpool town
Gimme some time to blow the man down

There's tinkers and tailors and soldiers and all
Wey hey, blow the man down
They all ship for sailors on board the Black Ball
Gimme some time to blow the man down

You'll see those poor devils how they will all scoot
Wey hey, blow the man down
Assisted along by the toe of a boot
Gimme some time to blow the man down

Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Wey hey, blow the man down
Blow him right back into Liverpool town
Give me some time to blow the man down

It's starboard and larboard on deck they will sprawl
Wey hey, blow the man down
For kickin' Jack Williams commands the Black Ball
Gimme some time to blow the man down

Lay aft now, ya lubbers, lay aft now I say
Wey hey, blow the man down
I'll none of yer dodges on my ship today
Gimme some time to blow the man down

Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Wey hey, blow the man down
Blow him right back into Liverpool town
Gimme some time to blow the man down

So I'll give you fair warning before we belay
Wey hey, blow the man down
Don't ever take heed of what chantymen say
Gimme some time to blow the man down

Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Wey hey, blow the man down
Blow him right back into Liverpool town
Gimme some time to blow the man down
