Lyrics
As I was a-walking down Paradise Street
To me way-aye, blow the man down
A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet
Give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
To me way-aye, blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow him away
Give me some time to blow the man down
She was round in the counter and bluff in the bow
To me way-aye, blow the man down
So I took in all sail and cried"Way enough now"
Give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
To me way-aye, blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow him away
Give me some time to blow the man down
I hailed her in English, she answered me clear
To me way-aye, blow the man down"I'm from the Black Arrow, bound to the Shakespeare"
Give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
To me way-aye, blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow him away
Give me some time to blow the man down
So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow
To me way-aye, blow the man down
And yardarm to yardarm away we did go
Give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
To me way-aye, blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow him away
Give me some time to blow the man down.
