Blow the Man Down

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
 To me 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!
