Blow 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.
