The Coast of High Barbary
Look ahead, look astern
Look the weather look-a-Lee
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
I see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to lee
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Then hail her, o Captain, He called oer the side
Blow high, blow low! So sailed we
I are you a pirate or a man o war he cried
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
O, are you a pirate or man o war? Cried we
Blow high, blow low! And so sailed we
Oh no! I'm not a pirate, but a man o war, cried he
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Then back up your topsails and heave your vessels to
Blow high, blow low! And so sailed we
For we have got some letters to be carried home by you
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
For broadside, for broadside they fought all on the main
Blow high, blow low! And so sailed we
Until at last the frigate shot the pirate's mast away
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
With cutlass and gun O we fought for hours three
Blow high! Blow low! And so sailed we
The ship it was their coffin and their grave it was the sea
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Look ahead, look astern
Look the weather look-a-lee
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
I see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to Lee
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Look the weather look-a-Lee
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
I see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to lee
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Then hail her, o Captain, He called oer the side
Blow high, blow low! So sailed we
I are you a pirate or a man o war he cried
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
O, are you a pirate or man o war? Cried we
Blow high, blow low! And so sailed we
Oh no! I'm not a pirate, but a man o war, cried he
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Then back up your topsails and heave your vessels to
Blow high, blow low! And so sailed we
For we have got some letters to be carried home by you
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
For broadside, for broadside they fought all on the main
Blow high, blow low! And so sailed we
Until at last the frigate shot the pirate's mast away
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
With cutlass and gun O we fought for hours three
Blow high! Blow low! And so sailed we
The ship it was their coffin and their grave it was the sea
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
Look ahead, look astern
Look the weather look-a-lee
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
I see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to Lee
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
A-sailing down along the coast of High Barbary
