Old Mother Shipton



Carriages without horses shall go

Around the world thoughts shall fly

In the twinkling of an eye

In the air men shall be seen

In white in black in green

Iron in the water shall float

As easily as a wooden boat

Fire and water shall wonders do

England shall at last admit a Jew

The World then to an end shall come

In one thousand nine hundred ninety-one



recited prophesies collected from Luke Stanley by Peter Kennedy

compare to Nostradamas, another seer's song

recorded on Folksongs of Britain 10
