• Captain Kidd

My name was William Kidd, as I sailed, as I sailed,
My name was William Kidd, as I sailed.
My name was William Kidd, God's laws I did forbid,
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed, as I sailed,
And most viciously I did, as I sailed.

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.
Oh, against them I rebelled, as I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, against them I rebelled, as I sailed.

I sailed from sound to sound, as I sailed, as I sailed,
I sailed from sound to sound, as I sailed.
I sailed from sound to sound and many ships I found
And most of men I drowned, as I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, the most of men I drowned, as I sailed.

And 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,
Not many leagues from shore, as I sailed, as I sailed,
Not many leagues from shore, as I sailed.

I had ninety bars of gold, as I sailed, as I sailed,
I had ninety bars of gold, as I sailed.
I had ninety bars of gold and had dollars manifold,
With riches uncontrolled, as I sailed, as I sailed,
With riches uncontrolled, as I sailed.

I spied three ships from France, as I sailed, as I sailed,
I spied three ships from France, as I sailed.
I spied three ships from France and on them I advanced,
And I took them all by chance, as I sailed, as I sailed,
And I took them all by chance, as I sailed.

I spied three ships from Spain, as I sailed, as I sailed,
I spied three ships from Spain, as I sailed.
I spied three ships from Spain and I fired on them a-main,
And the most of them were slain, as I sailed, as I sailed,
And the most of them were slain, as I sailed.

Then fourteen ships I saw, as I sailed, as I sailed,
Then fourteen ships I saw, as I sailed.
Then fourteen ships I saw and braved them anywhere,
They were too much for me, as I sailed, as I sailed,
Oh, they were too much for me, as I sailed.

To Newgate I am cast, and must die, and must die,
To Newgate I am cast, and I must die.
To Newgate I am cast, in chains they bound me fast,
To receive my just desert, I must die, I must die,
To receive my just desert, oh I must die.

Take a warning now by me, for I must die, I must die,
Take a warning now by me, I must die.
Take a warning now by me, and shun bad company,
Lest you come to hell with me, for I must die, I must die,
Lest you come to hell with me, for I must die.
