Come on ye young children and listen to me

Yo ho blow the man down

I hope that you all come sailing with me

Yo ho and blow the man down

One day I was strolling down on main street

Yo ho blow the man down

A sea fairing captain I happened to meet

Yo ho and blow the man down

Yo ho yo ho yo ho and blow the man down

He said silent young fella and follow the sea

Yo ho blow the man down

A handy young sailor I thought I would be

Yo ho and blow the man down

Yo ho yo ho and blow the man down

The waves are tossing us on the high seas

Yo ho blow the man down

And every land lover gets week in the knees

Yo ho and blow the man down

So shiver me timbers we are heading for home

Yo ho blow the man down

Sing now with me and you won't sing alone

With a yo ho and blow the man down

Yo ho yo ho yo ho and blow the man down

Yo ho yo ho yo ho and blow the man down

Yo ho
