Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
And most wickedly I did as I sailed
