Captain Kidd

My name is Captain Kidd,

as I sailed, as I sailed

My name is Captian Kidd,

as I sailed

My name is Captian Kidd, God's laws I did forbid

And most wickedly I did, as I sailed, as I sailed

Oh, my parents taught me well,

as I sailed, as I sailed

My parents taught me well,

as I sailed

My parents taught me well to shun the gates of Hell

But against them I rebelled, as I sailed, as I sailed

Well, I murdered William Moore,

as I sailed, as I sailed

I murdered William Moore,

as I sailed

I murdered William Moore and I left him in his gore

Forty leagues from shore, as I sailed, as I sailed

And being cruel still,

as I sailed, as I sailed

And being cruel still,

as I sailed

And being cruel still the gunner I did kill

And his precious blood did spill, as I sailed, as I sailed

Well, my repentance lasted not,

as I sailed, as I sailed

My repentance lasted not,

as I sailed

My repentance lasted not, my vows I soon forgot

Damnation was my lot, as I sailed, as I sailed

To execution dock

I must go, I must go

To execution dock

I must go

To execution dock, lay my head upon the block

And no more the laws I'll mock, as I sail, as I sail
