bounding main - high barbaree lyrics

Loading...

there was a gallant lofty ship, a-sailing on the sea
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
and her captain he was searching for the pirate enemy
a-sailing down along the coast of high barbaree

look ahead, look astern, look the weather and the lee
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
i see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to lee
a-sailing down along the coast of high barbaree

“o hail her! o hail her!” our gallant captain cried
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
“are you a man-o’-war or a privateer?” cried he
a-sailing down along the coast of high barbaree

“oh, no i’m not a man-o’-war, nor privateer,” cried he
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
“but i’m a salt sea pirate, all a-searchin’ for me fee!”
a-sailing down along the coast of high barbaree

for broadside, for broadside, a long time we lay
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 barbaree

for quarters! for quarters! the saucy pirates cried
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
the quarters that we gave them was to sink them in the tide
a-sailing down along the coast of high barbaree

but o! it was a cruel sight, and grieved us full sore
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
to see them all a-drowning as they tried to swim to sh-r-
a-sailing down along the coast of high barbaree

with cutl-ss, and with gun, o we fought them hours three
blow high! blow low! and so sailed we
and the ship it was their coffin, and their grave it was the sea
a-sailing down all on the coast of high barbaree
