about

A version of High Barbary with a little "over acting" on Heather's part! Apologies to Barbara Goldman- seadog mentor and improv advisor

lyrics

HIGH BARBARY
Traditional Arranged by Heather Alexander

Look ahead, look astern, look the weather and the lee
BLOW HIGH, BLOW LOW, AND SO SAILED WE!
I see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to lee
ASAILIN' DOWN ALONG THE COAST OF HIGH BARBARY!

"Are you a privateer, or a man-o-war?" cried we
"I am a lusty pirate ship come lookin' for my fee!"

For broadside, for broadside, we fought along the main
Until at last the frigate shot the pirate's mast away

With cutlass and gun, oh, we fought for hours three
The ship, it was their coffin, and their grave, it was the sea

"For quarter, for quarter!" the saucy pirates cried
But the quarter that we showed them was to sink them in the tide!

And oh, twas a cruel sight, and grieved us full sore
To see them all a-drownin' as they tried to swim ashore
