John Masefield
Don't know title but first lines are (appoximately):
"Jake was a dirty Dago lad and he gave the Skipper chin
And the skipper fetched him out a crack with an iron belaying pin
Which stiffened him up a rusty corpse as pretty as you could wishSo we wrapped him up in a bolt of sail and fed him to tthe fish.
That was just after we got sail on her"
