i There were two lofty ships from old England came, Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we 5
One was the Prince of Luther; and the other, Prince of Wales, Cruising down along the coast of the High Barbaree.
2 "Aloft there, aloft!" our jolly boatswain cries, Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we 3
"Look ahead, look astern, look aweather and alee, Look along down the coast of the High Barbaree."
3 "There's naught upon the stern, there's naught upon the lee," Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we;
"But there's a lofty ship to windward, and she's sailing fast and free. Sailing down along the coast of the High Barbaree."
4 "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 along the coast of the High Barbaree?"
5 "Oh, I am not a man-o'-war nor privateer," said he, Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we;
"But I'm a salt-sea pirate a-looking for me fee, Cruising down along the coast of the High Barbaree."
6 Oh, 'twas broadside to 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, Cruising down along the coast of the High Barbaree.
7 "Oh, quarter, oh, quarter," those pirates then did cry, Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we;
But the quarter that we gave them—we sunk them in the sea, Cruising down along the coast of the High Barbaree. |
