On the bonny coasts of Barbary.
They fired shots till the pirate’s deck,
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we;
Was blood and spars and broken wreck,
On the bonny coasts of Barbary.
“O do not haul the red flag down,”
Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we;
“O keep all fast until we drown,”
On the bonny coasts of Barbary.
They called for cans of wine, and drank,
