Alex at Davy Jones' Locker
The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett, 1751:
This same Davy Jones, according to the mythology of sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes, ship-wrecks, and other disasters to which sea-faring life is exposed, warning the devoted wretch of death and woe. [1]
He is described as having saucer eyes, three rows of teeth, horns, a tail, and blue smoke coming from his nostrils.

Way down in the hole
When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
walk the straight and narrow track
if you walk with Jesus
he's gonna save your soul
you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole
he's got the fire and the fury
at his command
well you don't have to worry
if you hold on to Jesus hand
we'll all be safe from Satan
when the thunder rolls
just gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole
All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword
and they'll shield you with their wings
and keep you close to the lord
don't pay heed to temptation
for his hands are so cold
you gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole
anybody need a job
A few years ago, a newspaper advertisement led him to the Pacific Northwest Ironworkers and Employers, where union officials told him how much he could earn as a beginning apprentice. "They told me $16 an hour. I told 'em I could do it," he recalls, sitting in the union's Tacoma training center. Some apprentices are tying rebar together under an instructor's stopwatch, and others are welding iron, sending plumes of sparks into the air. Now in his third year of a four-year apprenticeship, Burfect will soon be making a journeyman's wage of $28.57 an hour, plus benefits that are some of the best in the nation.
