|
There were two lofty ships |
|
From old England came |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
One was the Prince of Luther |
|
And the other Prince of Wales |
|
Cruisin' down the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
Aloft there, aloft |
|
Our jolly bosun cried |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
Look ahead, look astern, |
|
Look the weather look a-lee\" |
|
Look down the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
There's naught upon the stern, |
|
There's naught upon our lee |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
But there's a lofty ship to wind'ard |
|
An' she's sailin' fast and free |
|
Down along the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
Oh hail her, oh hail her |
|
Our gallant captain cried |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
Are you a man-o-war |
|
A privateer, a merchant ship? cried he |
|
Cruisin' down the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
I am not a man-o-war, |
|
A privateer,\" said he |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
But I am a salt sea pirate |
|
A-looking for me fee |
|
Down along the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
For Broadside, for broadside |
|
A long time we lay |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
Until the Prince of Luther |
|
Shot the pirate's mast away |
|
Down along the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
For quarter, for quarter |
|
The pirates they did cry |
|
Blow high, blow low |
|
And so sail we |
|
But the answer that we gave them |
|
We sunk them in the sea |
|
Cruisin' down the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
Cruisin' down along the coast |
|
Of High Barbary |
|
Cruisin' down along the coast |
|
of High Barbary |
