  • I like the Quadriga Consort version much better

  • 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 ? :))

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

    Ching Yih Saoa was her name. ;)

    THE MORE YOU KNOW!

  • What colour of lipstick did she use ?

  • Too bad the singer is not identified in this video. He did a really good job on this song>

  • The singers are The Shanty Crew.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
