Great Big Sea - Captain Kidd Lyrics

Font:

Align:

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

[Chorus]

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,

[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,

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.
