Blow Me Jack Songtext
von The Devil's Interval

As I was out one day a-walking
I heard the squire and his lady talking
As I walked by, I heard them say
That they that night together would lay
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day

Just tie a string all on your finger
And let the other end hang out of the window
Yes, I′ll come by, pull on the string
You'll come down and let me in
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day


Blow me, says Jack, if I won′t venture
I'll come out tonight and I'll try to catch her
Yes, I′ll come by, pull on the string
She′ll come down and she'll let me in
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day

As Jack outside her bedroom he lingered (lingered)
He spied the string hanging from her finger
He pulled and tugged all on that string
She came down and let him in
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day

Now who are you and where′d you come from?
My name is Jack and my ship's to London
I′d just come by, pulled on the string
For I'm well-trained in signalling
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day


What happened next I need not mention
But every night she′s the same attention, attention
Our Jack comes by, pulls on the string
She comes down and she lets him in
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day

So come all you girls who love a sailor
Just hang a bit of string from off your finger
Our Jack'll come by, pull your string
You go down and you let him in
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day
With me-doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama, doo-me-ama-day
Fol-wack-a-riddle, fol-a-wack-fol-a-day
