    crew
    Who were all in wild despair
    Twelve of the finest big black turf
    Each man tied round his waist
    Risolving to save themselves
    Or die like men at least
    III
    The captain shouted rocks ahead.
    Two men fell by the shock
    And she dashed in a thousand pieces
    Right against the Thirteenth Lock
    And nearly every Monday night
    Between twelve and one o'clock
    The captain's ghost and Kelly smokes
    On the banks of the Thirteenth Lock
