Blow the Man Down - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)
As I was out walkin' down Paradise street
To me way hey blow the man down
A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet
Give me some time to blow the man down
She was round in the counter and bluff in the bow
Way hey blow the man down
So I took in all sail and cried 'way enough now'
Give me some time to blow the man down
I hailed her in English she answered me clear
To me way hey blow the man down
'I'm from the Black Arrow
Bound to the Shakespeare'
Give me some time to blow the man down
So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow
To me way hey blow the man down
And yard-arm to yard-arm away we did go
Give me some time to blow the man down
But as we were a-going she said unto me
To me way hey blow the man down
'There's a spankin' full rigger just ready for sea'
Give me some time to blow the man down
That spankin' full rigger to New York was bound
To me way hey blow the man down
She was very well mannered and very well found
Give me some time to blow the man down
But as soon as that packet was clear of the bar
To me way hey blow the man down
The mate knocked me down with the end of a spar
Give me some time to blow the man down
As soon as that packet was out on the sea
To me way hey blow the man down
'Twas devilish hard treatment of every degree
Give me some time to blow the man down
So I give you fair warning before we belay
To me way hey blow the man down
Don't never take heed of what pretty girls say
Give me some time to blow the man down
