Blow The Man Down Uke tab by Sea Shanty

(C)As I was a walking down Paradise Street
...(Dm)Way (G7)hey, Blow the man down.
(G7)A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet.
....(G7)Give me some time to (C)blow the man down.

(C)She was round in the counter and bluff in the bow,
...
(G7)So I took in all sail and cried, "Way enough now."
...

(C)I hailed her in English, she answered me clear,
...
(G7)"I'm from the Black Arrow bound to the Shakespeare."
...

So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow
And yardarm to yardarm away we did go.

But as we were going she said unto me
There's a spanking full-rigger just ready for sea.

That spanking full-rigger to New York was bound;
She was very well manned and very well found.

But as soon as that packet was clear of the bar
The mate knocked me down with the end of a spar.

And as soon as that packet was out on the sea,
`Twas devilish hard treatment of every degree.

So I give you fair warning before we belay,
Don't ever take heed of what pretty girls say.
