I forgot to mention in the video that the term Berber is derived from what the ancient Greeks called them. It's related to the term barbarian, which is the word that the Greeks used for anyone who didn't speak Greek. The Greeks thought foreign languages sounded like people saying bar bar or similar. The people in question here actually call themselves Amazigh. • High Barbary - Lyrics • 1. There were two lofty ship, from Old England they did sail. • Blow high! Blow low! And so sailed we! • One was the Prince of Luther and the other the Prince of Wales. • Sailing down along the coast of High Barbaree! • 2. Aloft there, aloft there, the bosun he did say. • Look ahead and a-stern, to the weather and a-lee. • 3. Oh there's naught to the stern, sir, and nought to the lee. • There is a ship to wind'ard and she's sailing fast and free. • 4. Oh hail her, oh hail her, our captain he did say. • Are you a manofwar or a privateer today? • 5. Oh no I'm not a man-of-war nor privateer, said he. • But I'm a salt sea pirate and I'm looking for my fee. • 6. For broadside, for broadside a long time we lay. • Till at last the Prince of Luther shot the pirate's mast away. • 7. O quarter, o quarter the pirates they did cry. • But the quarter that we gave them was to sink to the bottom and die.
