traditional,  High Barbaree (American version… (1795/1815)

“ A-sailing down all on the coasts of High Barbaree.
“Then hail her!” our captain he called all aside,
Blow high ! Blow low ! and so sailed we.
“O are you a pirate or a man o'war?” he cried,
A-sailing down all on the coasts of High Barbaree.
O are you a pirate or 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 Barbaree.
