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
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,
(After Chorus comes the nice snare drum solo, which uses the same chords as the 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
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.
Chorus repeating last line twice and ending on D
