MOTHER CAREY.
Mother Carey? She's the mother 0' the witches
'N' all them sort 0' rips;
She's a fine gell to look at, but the hitch is,
She's a sight too fond of ships.
She lives upon a iceberg to the norred,
'N' her man he's Davy Jones,
'N' she combs the weeds upon her forred
With pore drowned sailors' bones.
She's a hungry old rip 'n' a cruel
For sailor-men like we,
She's give a many mariners the gruel
'N' a long sleep under sea.
She's the blood 0' many a crew upon her
'N' the bones of many a wreck,
'N' she's barnacles a-growin' on her
'N' shark's teeth round her neck.

She's the mother 0' the wrecks, 'n' the mother
Of all big winds as blows;
She's up to some deviltry or other
When it storms, or sleets, or snows.
The noise of the wind's her screamin',
"I'm arter a plump, young, fine,
Brass -buttoned, beefy-ribbed young seam'n
So as me 'n' my mate kin dine"
Words br
JOHN MASEFIELD.
(,,.om "Salt ..wattt,- Ballad.")
I ain't never had no schoolin'
Nor read no books like you,
But I knows 't ain't healthy til be foolin'
With that there gristly two.
You're young, you thinks, 'n' yotire lairy,
But if you're to make old bones,
Steer clear, I says, 0' Mother Carey
'N' that there Davy Jones.
