[Verse 1]
[C]Give me some time to blow the man down
As I was a -walkin' down Paradise Street
To me, hey, blow [G]the man down
A handsome young damsel
I chanced for to meet
Give me some time to [C]blow
the man down
She was round in the counter
and bluff in the bow
To me, way, hey, [G]blow the man down
So I put on old speed
and called, wait, hold up now.
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down.
I hauled out my flipper, I took her in tow.
To me, way, blow [G]the man down.
And yard arm to yard arm,
away we did go.
Give me some time to
[C]blow the man down.
Says she to me,
will you stand treat to me?
Way, blow [G]the man down.
Delighted, says Ivor,
a charmer so sweet,
Give me some time [C]to blow
the man down.
She drank down a pint
and I swallowed a quart,
To me, way, hey, [G]blow the man down.
She listed to starboard,
I listed to port,
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down.
Was up in her quarter,
she piped me a bore,
To me, way, hey, [G]blow the man down.
And there on the bed,
I cut loose with my sword
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down
I ruffled her scuppers,
I battered her stern
To me, way, hey, blow [G]the man down
And down in her galley,
I was done to a turn
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down
But just as my cutter
was a -forging the head
To me, way, hey, blow [G]the man down
She hollered, my husband,
and she jumped out of bed.
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down.
He was seven foot tall
with a chest like a horse.
Way, hey, blow [G]the man down.
And straight from my jawbone,
he plotted his course.
Give me some time [C]to blow the man down.
He battered my rudder,
he loosened my stage.
Way, hey, [G]blow the man down.
And I flew down the steps
like a ship on the waves
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down
Well, I hopped on a packet
that happened along
Do me way, hey, blow [G]the man down
And when I woke up,
I was signed for Hong Kong
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down
So young men, take warning before I belay
Do me way, hey, [G]blow the man down
Don't never pay to what pretty gals say
Give me some time to [C]blow the man down
