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.
