The Coast of High Barbary

[shirifun]

Look ahead, look a stern, look the weather in the lee,

Blow high! Blow low! and so sailed we.

I see a wreck to the windward and a lofty ship to lee,

A sailing down all on the coasts of High Barbary

O are you a pirate or a man-o-war? cried we.

Blow high! Blow low! and so sailed we.

O no! I'm not a pirate but a man-o-war, cried he.

A sailing down all on the coasts of High Barbary

[shirifun]

We'll back up our topsails and heave our vessel to;

Blow high! Blow low! and so sailed we.

For we have got some letters to be carried home by you.

A sailing down all on the coasts 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 all on the coasts of High Barbary

[shirifun]

For quarters! For quarters! the saucy pirates cried,

Blow high! Blow low! and so sailed we.

The quarters that we showed them Was to sink them in the tide.

A sailing down all on The coasts 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 all on the coasts of High Barbary

[StillOBSESSED]

[shipuuden73]

[chesterluver98]

my chior is singing this and it sounds awsome=)

[Vorgoth911]

lol, its a little odd to have this song playing with pirates of the Caribbean, seeing as its about victory over pirates in a battle, and the pirates begged for mercy

[boredomesucks232]

My bro's band did a remake of this. If you wanna hear it message me an I'll send you a link

[Ramon5765]

sang it in chorus

[itachiofthesharingun]

Um the first part of this is from Pirates Of the Carrabain: The Foutain Of Youth an it isnt ever out yet!

[tvlvrgrl90210]

it skips like 2-3 lines

[Cyclonus5]

Same shanty, different versions M8. and they're all true

[Cyclonus5]

besides, this is the long drag version, theres also capstan turning version, which isn't as good, but since turning a capstan takes longer they would need more verses

[shoepapergirl1]

Haha this is much better than the honor choir practice cd.

[Etharod]

I like the Quadriga Consort version much better

[Spiciu]

I like them very much , too . But , for a pirate song , male voices seem to be more appropriate :)) Can you imagine a pirate holding a lipstick in his hand instead of a sword ? :))

[Etharod]

More appropriate it may be, but it sounds just like any other pirate song.

QC gave the song their own unique touch.

[XML1138]

Lady Grania and her crew would like to have a word with you.

Go gcreime cúnna ifrinn do bhall fearga!

[jselvy2]

Only Pirate to beard Elizabeth I in her own den

[MelficeSilesius]

One of the most successful pirates of all times was a woman.

Ching Yih Saoa was her name. ;)

THE MORE YOU KNOW!

[Spiciu]

What colour of lipstick did she use ?

[MelficeSilesius]

Can't tell you that, but I suspect it would be none.

[RavenDestroyer]

@Spiciu Female pirates where more common then female sailors or soldiers (for nations)
