Oh! Blow the man down, bullies. Blow the man down.
Way! Hey! Blow the man down!
Oh! Blow the man down bullies. Blow him right down.
Give us the time and we'll blow the man down!

Come all you young fellows that follow the sea,
With a yo, ho, and blow the man down,
And please pay attntion and listen to me,
Give us some time to blow the man down.

There were tinkers adn tailors and sailors and all,
With a yo, ho, and blow the man down,
They shipped for goo reason aboard the Black Ball,
Give us some time to blow the man down.

Tis starboard and larboard and jump to the call.
With a yo, ho, and blow the man down,
When kicking Jack Williams commands teh Black Ball,
Give us some time to blow the man down.

As I was a-walking down Paradise Street,
Way! Hey! Blow the man down!
A pretty young damsel I wanted to meet,
Walked with a man, oh blow the man down.

I says to her, "Polly, and how d'ye do?"
Way ay! Blow the man down!
She says, "None the better for seeing of you!"
Oh gimme some time to blow the man down.

Oh we'll blow the man up and we'll blow the man down,
Way ay! Blow the man down!
We'll blow him away into Liverpool Town,
Oh gimme some time to blow the man down.

I swung to the left and swung to the right,
Way! Hey! Blow the man down!
But he was a guy who sure knew how to fight,
None of my blows could blow the man down.

The adorable dame took the man by the arm,
Way! Hey! Blow the man down!
Took off with her her with all of her charm,
I only lay, just flat on the ground.

All ye sailors take warning before you set sail,
Way! Hey! Blow the man down!
If he's strong as an ox and big as a whale,
Think twice before you blow the man down.
