Artist/Band: Great Big Sea
Lyrics for Song: Captain Kidd
Lyrics for Album: The Hard & The Easy [1998]



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
