Blow the Man Down
Come all ye young children and listen to me
(Yo-ho, blow the man down)
I hope that you'll all come a-sailing with me
(Yo-ho, and blow the man down)
One day, I was strollin' down on Main street
(Yo-ho, blow the man down)
A sea-faring Captain I happened to meet
(Yo-ho, and blow the man down)
(Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, and blow the man down)
He said, "Side up young fella and follow the sea"
(Yo-ho, blow the man down)
A handy young sailor, I thought I would be
(Yo-ho, and blow the man down)
(Yo-ho, yo-ho, and blow the man down)
The waves all a-tossing upon the high seas
(Yo-ho, blow the man down)
And every landlubber gets weak in the knees
(Yo-ho, and blow the man down)
So shiver me timbers, we're heading for home
(Yo-ho, blow the man down)
Sing now with me and you won't sing alone
(With a yo-ho, and blow the man down)
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, and blow the man down
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, and blow the man down

A sea-faring Captain I happened to meet

Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, and blow the man down
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, and blow the man down
