lyrics
In a dark cavern of a sea cliff
in the parish of Saint Cuthbert's
is that famous spring of water
known by the inhabitants as Holy Well.
if applied outward
dries up all itch.
Taken internally
a notable vomit and purgent
in addition to being
a petrifying well.
On the coast south of Creek
there is a hollow in the rock
which at high tide
is filled with salt water
while at low tide
always fresh.
The dripping water forms
a stalagmite.
