You Can't Hold A Good Man Down letra

I set to sea as a country lad
To make a dream come true
A full-blown wind took her hard astern
That blew from timbuktu
We went down like and anchor chain
I thought that we would drown
Swam belly up and cried like hell
Well ya can't hold a good man down!
I rode like billy-o
Made the scilly isles
Ended up in the rose and crow
Drank the night away
Seems like yesterday
When we went down

Now were!
Way-yo!
Can't blow the man down!
Way-yo!
Can't blow the man down!
Hey-yo!
Can't hold the man
Hold the man
Down
Boys!
Hold this man down!

Was devils torment tack and rum
That kept the fear at bay
But a navy sail on the starboard bow
Was getting in our way
Our broadside rained like a fire from hell
We made the beggars pay
But we did not see the giant wave
That took our keel away
So in the drink we go
Sink or swimmy - oh
Davey jones tried to take us down
Wreckage drift away
Soggy castaway
Runnin a-ground
Repeat chorus
I landed on a desert isle
And stowed aboard a sail
Made a life as a cabin boy
Until we hit the whale!

Now were!
Way-yo!
Can't blow the man down!
Way-yo!
Can't blow the man down!
Hey-yo!
Can't hold the man
Hold the man
Down
Boys!
Hold this man down!

Hold this man down
