Blow the Man Down
Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Weeey-oh! Blow the man down)
I knew that only a pirate I'd be
(Weeey-oh! Blow the man down)
(Sea Dawg)
I step in the black mongoose and what what do I see
A scurvy knave in the seat saved for me
Then bash his head in with a bottle of rum
Dazed and confused, he attempts to flee
But me and the men drag his ass out to sea
He's stuck in the bilge, locked tight in a cage
I burn his hometown in a murderous rage
His body now lies in the depths of the bay
I return to the bar and to my dismay
Another sailor sits in my domain
So I buy him a drink and start over again
When I was a sailor who lived on the sea
(Weeey-oh! Blow the man down)
I knew that only a pirate I'd be
(Weeey-oh! Blow the man down)
(Cap D)
There once was this time when I drank too much wine
And when I woke up I was surrounded by SWINE
And so I did swear I got mud in my hair
Covered in faeces I stank in the air
I went to the bar where I'd drank by the stars
They erupted in laughter they thought me bizarre
They told me that last night I'd got in a bar fight,
Killed 15 men and got drunk until light
And then when I went I fell over the fence
And landed with pigs to each one's content
I snuggled them closely and kissed them so slowly
They left me to be with them covered in E Coli!
When I was a sailor who lived on the sea
(Weeey-oh! Blow the man down)
I knew that only a pirate I'd be
(Weeey-oh! Blow the man down)
The lyrics to Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew's song "Blow the Man Down" depict the life of a sailor who eventually becomes a pirate. The first verse establishes the sailor's yearning to be a pirate and breaks into the chorus chanting "Weeey-oh! Blow the man down." In the Sea Dawg's verse, we see the true colors of a pirate, where he steps into a bar and engages in a conversation with a sailor, only to later kill him with a bottle of rum in a murderous rage. He then becomes more ruthless, locks him in a cage, burns down his hometown, and throws his body into the bay. The last line in his verse, "So I buy him a drink and start over again," shows how there is no remorse for his actions, and he will continue doing what he does best.
In Captain Dan's verse, we see his drunken misadventures where he drinks too much wine and wakes up surrounded by pigs with mud in his hair and covered in faeces. He recollects how last night he had fought 15 men, got drunk until light, and fell over the fence. He even went as far as embracing the pigs and kissing them, leaving him to be covered in E.coli. The song ends with the chorus.

Introduction to Sea Dawg's story
I step in the black mongoose and what what do I see
I get into the car and notice a strange person
A scurvy knave in the seat saved for me
An untrustworthy and dishonest person was in the seat meant for me
I buy him a drink and ask where he's from
I offer him a drink and inquire about his origin
Then bash his head in with a bottle of rum
I hit him on the head with a rum bottle
Dazed and confused, he attempts to flee
He gets confused and tries to run away
But me and the men drag his ass out to sea
Me and my crew take him out to the sea
He's stuck in the bilge, locked tight in a cage
He's trapped in the ship's compartment and confined in a cage
I burn his hometown in a murderous rage
I destroy his hometown in an act of extreme anger and violence
His body now lies in the depths of the bay
His dead body is at the bottom of the bay
I return to the bar and to my dismay
I go back to the bar and am disappointed
Another sailor sits in my domain
Someone else is in my usual spot in the bar
So I buy him a drink and start over again
I offer him a drink and restart my routine
(Cap D)
Introduction to Captain Dan's story
There once was this time when I drank too much wine
There was a time I got drunk on wine
And when I woke up I was surrounded by SWINE
When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by pigs
And so I did swear I got mud in my hair
I swear that I got mud in my hair
Covered in faeces I stank in the air
I stank like feces and had it all over me
I went to the bar where I'd drank by the stars
I went to the bar where I usually drink
They erupted in laughter they thought me bizarre
They laughed at me and found me weird
They told me that last night I'd got in a bar fight,
They informed me that I had gotten into a fight at the bar the previous night
Killed 15 men and got drunk until light
I allegedly killed fifteen men and drank until sunrise
And then when I went I fell over the fence
When I tried to leave, I fell over the fence
And landed with pigs to each one's content
I landed among the pigs who were happy to have me
I snuggled them closely and kissed them so slowly
I held them closely and kissed them slowly
They left me to be with them covered in E Coli!
They left me with a disease called E. Coli
