Songtext von Captain Kidd

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 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
