Lyr. Add: COAST OF BARBARY
Deming (Boston) broadside, c. 1831-1836

Two lofty ships from Old England came,
Blow high and blow low and so sailed we;
One was the Prince of Luther and the other Prince of Wales,
Cruising down on the Coast of Barbary

Up aloft, up aloft, the jolly boatswain cries,
Blow high and blow low, and so sailed we;
Look ahead, look astern, look the weather and the lee,
Look along down on the Coast of Barbary.

There's none upon the stern, there's none upon the lee,
Blow high and blow low, and so sailed we;
But there is a ship at windward, a lofty ship at sea,
Cruising down on the Coast of Barbary.

Oh hail, Oh hail, that lofty tall ship,
Blow high and blow low and so sailed we;
Are you a man of war or privateer, said she,
Cruising down on the Coast of Barbary.

Oh, I am no man of war, or privateer, said she,
Blow high and blow low, and so sailed we;
But I am a jolly Pirate, a looking for my fee,
Cruising down on the Coast of Barbary.

Broadside and broadside, a long time they lay,
Blow high and blow low and so sailed we;
Till the Prince of Luther shot all the Pirate's masts away,
Cruising down on the Coast of Barbary.

Oh quarters! Oh quarters! these Pirates did cry;
Blow high and blow low, and so sailed we;
But the quarters that we gave them, we sunk them in the sea,
Cruising down on the Coast of Barbary.
