Blow The Man Down
Give me some time to blow the man down.
As I was a-walking down Paradise Street
TOME!Way, hey, blow the man down.
A handsome young damsel I chanced for to meet
Give me some time to blow the man down.
She was roundin' the counter and bluffin' the bow
TOME!
So I put on all speed and called, "Weigh, hold
up now!"
Give me some time to blow the man down.
I put out my flipper and took her in tow.
And yard arm-to-yardarm away we did go.
Said she to me matey, "Will you stand treat?"
"Delighted," says I, to a charmer so sweet.
She drank down a pint and I swallowed a quart
She listed to starboard, I listed to port.
Twas up in her quarter she piped me aboard
And there on the bed I cut loose with my sword.
I ruffled her scuppers, I battered her stern
And down in her galley I was done to a turn.
But just as my cutter was forging ahead
She hollered, "My husband," and jumped out of bed.
He was seven foot tall with a chest like a horse
And straight for my jaw bone he plotted a course.
He battered my rudder and loosened my staves
And I flew down the steps like a ship on the waves.
Well I hopped on a packet that happened along
And when I woke up I was signed for Hong Kong.
So young men take warning before I belay
Don't ever pay heed to what pretty girls say.
Give me some time to blow the man down.
