To my way, hey, blow the man down

I'm a deep water sailor

With the tankers and tailors

Tell me, hey, hey, blow the man down

That ship for price seamen
on board a black ball

Give me some time to blow the man down
Tis when the black baller
is clear of the land

Tell me way, hey,

blow the man down

the word of command

Give us some time to blow the man down
Lay aft is the cry to the break of the poop
C

Tell me way, hey, blow the man down
Or I'll help you along
with the toe of my boot
C
Give me some time to blow the man down
Tis Larberton starboard,
on the deck you will sprawl
G
Tell me, hey, hey, blow the man down
For kicking Jack Williams
commands the black ball
C
Give me some time to blow the man down
At first it's a fist, and then it's a fall
G
With me, hey, hey, blow the man down
When your ship is a sailor
aboard the black ball
C
Give me some time to blow the man down
