There were two lofty s***ps 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 s***p 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 s***p?\" 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
