Lyrics:

As I was a-walking down Paradise Street,
To me way-aye, blow the man down!
A Liverpool bobby I chanced for to meet
Give me some time to blow the man down!

Says he, "You're a Blackballer by the cut of your hair
To me way-aye, blow the man down!
I know you're a Blackballer by the clothes that you wear
Give me some time to blow the man down!

"You've sailed in a packet that flies the Black Ball
You've robbed some poor Dutchman of boots, clothes and all."

"O policeman, policeman, you do me great wrong
I'm a `Flying Fish' sailor just home from Hong Kong!"

They gave me six months in Liverpool town
For kicking a policeman and blowing him down
