A carriage without horse will go
Disaster fill the world with woe
In London, Primrose Hill shall be
In center hold the bishops sea
Chorus:
Hear Mother Shipton's prophecy
Clairvoyant or insane?
Around the world men's thoughts will fly
Quick as the twinkling of an eye
And water shall great wonders do
How strange and yet it shall come true
Through towering hills proud men shall ride
No horse or ass move by his side
Beneath the water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk
And in the air men shall be seen
In water iron then shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be seen in stream and stone
In land yet unknown
Through towering hills proud men shall ride
No horse or ass move by his side
Beneath the water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk
They'll ride astride with brazen brow
As witches do on broomsticks now
And in the air men shall be seen
In White and black and even green
A great man shall come and go
For prophecy declares it so
