Fix Blow the Man Down verse melody after fetching a period arrangement
The real shanty verse is a near-monotone chant on one pitch (typical of a shantyman's call-and-response work song) with the only real melodic movement on the "with a yo ho!" leap and the "blow the man down" hook. The previous version had an elaborate scalar melody that doesn't match how this song is actually sung. Also fetched and checked (no changes needed, content already matched): South Australia, Spanish Ladies, Skye Boat Song, Scarborough Fair, Swing Low Sweet Chariot.
