The Coast of High Barbary

[@GreatSmithanon]

A lot of people forget about the Barbary Coast slave trade. European sailing ships would often be captured by african and middle eastern pirates to be sold into slavery.

[@Simpson17866]

A lot of people forget a lot about history.

[@FaithfulOfBrigantia]

The Barbary pirates are very underrated.

[@manbarral]

jack ward(the real-life inspiration for jack sparrow) was a barbary corsair.

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. 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 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 (Last verse unknown) 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

I remember hearing thi song all the time when I worked the renfaire and was one of my favorites. Yesterday I read a book with this song mentioned. Today I watched this video and it happens to be talk like a pirate day! Argh!

Where can I find more music from The Shanty Crew? There website failed to provide, oddly enough.

[@NotaCapn]

Did you go here? www.shantycrew.co.uk/ They've lost some members and their site appears to not be well maintained today. Honestly, I'm pretty sure the group is defunct today. If you're looking for their music you might check out the Chantey Cabin: www.chanteycabin.co.uk/Shanty%20Crew/Shantycrew.htm.

[@Cyclonus5]

besides, this is the long drag version, theres also capstan turning version, which isn't as good, but since turning a capstan takes longer they would need more verses
