High Barbary
Live at Triskell Celtic Festival, Italy - June 29th 2018

I've always loved rocking up this 16th-century pirate ballad!
This is one of our favourite shout-a-long numbers in the set, and as you can see, our audience loves it too :)

High Barbary
Roud 134
Trad. Arr - Pyrates!
There were two lofty ships, O’ a-sailin’ on the sea,
Blow High! (HEY!) Blow low! (ARR!!) And so sailed we… (YARR HARR!!)
One the Prince o' Luther and the other Prince o' Wales,
A-sailin’ down along the coast of High Barbary.
Look ahead, look astern, look a-weather and a-lee
I see a wreck to windward and a ship upon the sea
Oh Are you a pirate or a man-o-war
I am not a pirate but a harmless man-o-war
For broadside, For broadside they fought along the main
Until at last the pirates shot the frigates mast away
With Cutlass and gun we fought for hours three
And their ship it was their coffin, and their grave it was the sea.
O’ quarter! O’quarter! the Navy they did cry,
But you men know not of quarter,” o’ the captain did reply,
But o it was a cruel sight and grieved us full sore
To see them all a-drowning as they tried to swim ashore
