Captain Kidd

CHORUS: 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 law's 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 the Bible in my hand But I left it in the sand And I pulled away from land As I sailed CHORUS I murdered William Moore And I left him in his gore Many leagues away from shore As I sailed And being crueler still The gunner I did kill Oh, his prescious blood did spill As I sailed CHORUS 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 CHORUS To the Execution Dock Lay my head upon the block Alas no more I'll mock As I sailed So take warning here and heed And shun bad company Or you'll wind up just like me As I sailed CHORUS
