My name is Captain Kidd |
|
As I sailed, as I sailed, |
|
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed, |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
And God's laws I did forbid, |
|
And most wickedly I did as I sailed. |
|
My father taught me well |
|
To shun the gates of hell, |
|
But against him I rebelled as I sailed, |
|
He shoved a bible in my hand |
|
But I left it in the sand |
|
And I pulled away from land, |
|
As I sailed |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
As I sailed, as I sailed, |
|
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed, |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
And God's laws I did forbid, |
|
And most wickedly I did as I sailed. |
|
I murdered William Moore |
|
And I left him in his gore |
|
Twenty leagues away from shore |
|
As I sailed, |
|
And being crueler still, the gunner I did kill |
|
All his precious blood did spill, |
|
As I sailed, |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
As I sailed, as I sailed, |
|
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed, |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
And God's laws I did forbid, |
|
And most wickedly I did as I sailed. |
|
I was sick and nigh to death, |
|
And I vowed at every breath, |
|
Oh to walk in wisdom's path, |
|
As I sailed |
|
But my repentance lasted not, |
|
My vows I soon forgot, |
|
Oh damnation is my lot, |
|
As I sailed. |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
As I sailed, as I sailed, |
|
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed, |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
And God's laws I did forbid, |
|
And most wickedly I did as I sailed. |
|
To the execution dock |
|
Lay my head upon the block, |
|
Laws no more I'll mock as I sail, |
|
So take warning here and heed |
|
To shun bad company |
|
Or you'll wind up just like me |
|
As I sailed. |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
As I sailed, as I sailed, |
|
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed, |
|
My name is Captain Kidd |
|
And God's laws I did forbid, |
|
And most wickedly I did as I sailed. |
