Roberto Lyr Req: Blow the Man Down (Phil Beer) (15) Lyr Req: Phil Beer's Blow the Man Down 26 Oct 09


I'd like to get the text of Blow the Man Down as sung by Phil Beer, a Cornish version, the booklet says (it is in this years' Folk Awards).

The first verse:

As I was a-walking down Killigrew Street
Way, Hey – Blow the Man Down
A saucy young bobby I chanced for to met
Gi' me some time to Blow the Man Down

Blow the Man Down, bullies, Blow the Man Down
Way, Hey – Blow the Man Down
Blow him away, boys, to Liverpool town
Gi' me some time to Blow the Man Down

THanks. R
