Nice familiar one to start with, give it a run through by yourselves and then I will give a count of three...
Come all ye young fellows who follow the sea, (to me! Wey hey, blow the man down) And pray pay attention and listen to me (Give me some time to blow the man down)
I'm a deep water sailor just in from Hong Kong (to me! Wey hey, blow the man down) If you buy me a drink, then I'll sing you a song (Give me some time to blow the man down)
{Chorus} Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down Wey hey, blow the man down Blow him right back into Liverpool town Give me some time to blow the man down
There's tinkers and tailors and soldiers and all (To me! Wey hey, blow the man down) They all ship for sailors on board the Black Ball (Give me some time to blow the man down)
You'll see those poor devils how they will all scoot (Wey hey, blow the man down) Assisted along by the toe of a boot (Give me some time to blow the man down)
{Chorus}
It's starboard and larboard on deck they will sprawl (To me! Wey hey, blow the man down) For kickin' Jack Williams commands the Black Ball (Give me some time to blow the man down)
Lay aft now, ya lubbers, lay aft now I say (To me! Wey hey, blow the man down) I'll none of yer dodges on my ship today (Give me some time to blow the man down)
{Chorus}
So I'll give you fair warning before we belay (To me! Wey hey, blow the man down) Don't ever take heed of what chantymen say (Give me some time to blow the man down)
OK, everyone ready for the 2:30 Tuesday afternoon TWTD Sea Shanty session? on 14:35 - Feb 9 by WeWereZombies

Not sure if this is a sea shanty
4 and 20 virgins came down from Inverness and when the day was over there the 2 and 20 less
I believe there is several verses and a chorus bit I am too young and wholesome to remember those
