Great Big Sea "Captain Kidd" |
My name is Captain Kidd as I sailed as I sailed 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 As I pulled away from land as I sailed My name is Captain Kidd as I sailed as I sailed 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 Oh his precious blood did spill as I sailed My name is Captain Kidd as I sailed as I sailed 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 To walk in Wisdom's path as I sailed But my repentance lasted not and my vows I soon forgot Damnation is my lot as I sailed My name is Captain Kidd as I sailed as I sailed 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 The laws no more I'll mock as I sailed So take warning here and heed to shun bad company Or you'll find yourself like me as I sailed My name is Captain Kidd as I sailed as I sailed 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 Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
