<br />
My name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
My name is Captian Kidd, as I sailed<br />
My name is Captian Kidd, God`s laws I did forbid<br />
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
<br />
Oh, my parents taught me well, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
My parents taught me well, as I sailed<br />
My parents taught me well to shun the gates of Hell<br />
But against them I rebelled, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
<br />
Well, I murdered William Moore, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
I murdered William Moore, as I sailed<br />
I murdered William Moore and I left him in his gore<br />
Forty leagues from shore, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
<br />
And being cruel still, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
And being cruel still, as I sailed<br />
And being cruel still the gunner I did kill<br />
And his precious blood did spill, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
<br />
Well, my repentance lasted not, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
My repentance lasted not, as I sailed<br />
My repentance lasted not, my vows I soon forgot<br />
Damnation was my lot, as I sailed, as I sailed<br />
<br />
To execution dock I must go, I must go<br />
To execution dock I must go<br />
To execution dock, lay my head upon the block<br />
And no more the laws I`ll mock, as I sail, as I sail<br />
<br />
The reputation for cruelty and viciousness generally assigned to<br />
Captain Kidd, probably the most famous of all pirates, is largely<br />
the result of the ballad maker`s art.  Actually, it would appear<br />
that William Kidd (1645?-1701) was the victim of a frame-up.  He<br />
was hanged, guilty or not, near London on May 23, 1701.<br />
<br />
The tune, and particularly the verse pattern, of this song has<br />
been used for other songs, such as: `Samuel Hall`, `The Pirates<br />
They Grow Small`, and the American hymn, `Wonderous Love.`  This<br />
version comes from Peter Seeger, who learned it in London from<br />
Steve Benbow.<br />
NOTE: Most versions have `My name is Robert Kidd etc.` Nobody<br />
seems to know where the `Robert` came from. RG<br />

CAPTAIN KIDD

My name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed, as I sailed
My name is Captian Kidd, as I sailed
My name is Captian Kidd, God`s laws I did forbid
And most wickedly I did, as I sailed, as I sailed

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

Well, 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
Forty leagues from shore, as I sailed, as I sailed

And being cruel still, as I sailed, as I sailed
And being cruel still, as I sailed
And being cruel still the gunner I did kill
And his precious blood did spill, as I sailed, as I sailed

Well, my repentance lasted not, as I sailed, as I sailed
My repentance lasted not, as I sailed
My repentance lasted not, my vows I soon forgot
Damnation was my lot, as I sailed, as I sailed

To execution dock I must go, I must go
To execution dock I must go
To execution dock, lay my head upon the block
And no more the laws I`ll mock, as I sail, as I sail
