Here is just a small piece that survived from this beautiful capstan shanty, Stan Hugill tells us one of his friends, Scot called Macmillan, a man holding a master's square-rig ticket, sang to Stan Hugill piece of the shanty. The shanty is related to tune to the British "Rolling Home". Unfortunately only survived the one verse and chorus, exactly as much as the mentioned MacMillan remembered.
"Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill (1st ed p 192).


Mother Carey's


The brave west wind it filled our top-s'ls,
an' bore us outward bound,
Outward bound across the Western,
outward bound for 'Frisco Town,

   - Sheet it home -- that, big main tops'l,
   - Sheet it home -- boys, good an' true,
   - For we're bound -- to Mother Carey's,
   - where she feeds -- her chicks at sea.
