Yo ho heave ho
Yo ho heave ho
Yo ho heave ho
Yo ho heave ho
Gonna sing you all a song
About a ship that haunts my dreams
Blow high, blow low
And so sail we
A song to curdle up your blood
And make the banshee scream
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
Get aloft, get aloft
Our gallant captain cried
Blow high, blow low
And so sail we
Look ahead, look astern
Look a-windward, look a-lee
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
There's nothing to the stern
There's nothing to the lee
Blow high, blow low
And so sail we
But there's a spooky ship to windward
That's sailing loose and free
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
The captain was a skeleton
The first mate was a ghoul
Blow high, blow low
And so sail we
When we fired off a broadside
The ball went right on through
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
Yo ho heave ho
Yo ho heave ho
Yo ho heave ho
Yo ho heave ho
The spooky old fisherman's friends are we
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
He waved a bony hand and said
"Farewell, me boys, farewell"
Blow high, blow low
And so sail we
We're bound for Davy Jones's locker
We're sailing down to hell
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
Sailing down the coast of High Barbary
