High Barbaree

High Barbaree, sometimes called simply Barbaree, was a sea shanty. Jack Sparrow sings a line of it as he battles Silverbak in Silver.

Lyrics

 * Both the music and lyrics are traditional.


 * There were two ships from old England came
 * Blow high, blow low and so sail we,
 * One she was the Queen of Russia and the other Prince of Wales
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree.


 * "Step aloft, step aloft," our jolly bos'n cried,
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * "Look ahead, look astern, look aweather'd, and alee,
 * Then look down on the coast of Barbaree."


 * "There is no ship ahead, there is no ship astern,"
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * "But there's a lofty ship awind'ard and a lofty ship is she,"
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree."


 * "Hail, hail, that lofty tall ship,"
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * "Are you a man-o-war's-man or a privateer?" said he,
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree."


 * "l'm no man-o-war's-man or privateer," said he,
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * "But I'm a jolly pirate a-seekin' for my fee,
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree."


 * Broadside, broadside along them we did lay,
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * Till at length the Queen of Russia shot the pirate's mast away,
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree.


 * "Oh, quarters, quarters," this jolly pirate cried,
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * "The quarters I will give you I will sink you in the tide!
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree."


 * So we tied them one by one, and we tied them two by two,
 * Blow high, blow low, and so sail we.
 * We tied them three by three, and we chucked 'em in the sea!
 * Cruisin' down on the coast of Barbaree.
