lyrics

There were two lofty ships from old England came,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we;
One was the Prince of Luther and the other Prince of Wales,
Down along the coast of High Barbaree.

"Aloft there, aloft," our jolly boatswain cried,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
"Look ahead look a-stern, look a-weather look a-lee,
Looking down the coast of High Barbaree."

"There's naught upon the stern there is naught upon the lee,"
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
"But there's a lofty ship to windward a-sailing fast and free,
Sailing down the coast of High Barbaree."

"Oh, hail her, oh hail her," our gallant captain cried,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
"Are you a man-o-war or a privateer," said he,
"Cruising down the coast of High Barbaree."

"I'm not a man-of-war, nor a privateer," said he,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
"But I am a salt-sea pirate, a-looking for my fee,
Looking down the coast of High Barbaree."

'Twas broadside and broadside, a long time we lay,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
Until the Prince of Luther shot the pirate's masts away,
Down along the coast of High Barbaree.

"Oh mercy! Oh mercy!" those pirates did cry,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we.
But the mercy that we gave them, - we sunk them in the sea,
Down along the coast of High Barbaree.
