Come all ye young sailors that follow the sea
(Way hey, blow the man down)
You must pay attention now listen to me
(Give me some time to blow the man down)

I'm a salty old pirate set sail from Hong Kong
(Way hey, blow the man down)
Give me some whiskey, I'll sing you my song
(Give me some time to blow the man down)

'Twas on a Black Baller I first served my time
(Way hey, blow the man down)
And on that Black Baller I wasted me prime
(Give me some time to blow the man down)

Now when the big liner, she's clear of land
(Way hey, blow the man down)
The bosun he roars out the word of command
(Give me some time to blow the man down)

Come quickly, lay aft to the break of the poop
(Way hey, blow the man down)
Or I'll help you along with the toe of me boot
(Give me some time to blow the man down)

'Tis larboard and starboard, on deck you will sprawl
(Way hey, blow the man down)
For Captain Van Wrinkle commands the Black Ball
(Give me some time to blow the man down)
