Lyrics

There were two lofty ships from Old England, they set sail
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
One was the Prince of Luther and the other Prince of Wales
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary
Aloft there, aloft there, our bully bosun cried
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
Look ahead, look astern, look to win'ward and a-lee
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary
There's naught upon the stern, sir, there's naught upon our lee
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
But there's a lofty ship to win'ward an' she's sailin' fast an' free
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary
Hail her, oh, hail her, our gully captain cried
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
"Are you a man of war or a privateer?" Cried he
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary
"Oh no, I'm not a man of war nor privateer," cried he
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
But I'm a salt-sea pirate all a-lookin' for me fee
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary
For broadside, for broadside, a long time we lay
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
'Til at last the Prince of Luther shot the pirate mast away
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary
Oh quarter, oh quarter, those pirates they did cry
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
But the quarter that we gave 'em was to sink 'em in the sea
All a-crusin' down the coast of High Barbary!
