Product Description

The title of this sea chantey, "Blow the Man Down," refers to a sailor "striking something," which could be another sailor or else the capstan or belaying pin on a ship. In other cultures it refers shipmates ("blowers") who hoist topsail yards . In alternate versions of the song, there are also negative references to the captain or disagreable shipmates who are lazy---"lubbers."
