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
The reputation for cruelty and viciousness generally assigned to Captain Kidd, probably the most famous of all pirates, is largely The result of the ballad maker's art. Actually, it would appear That William Kidd (1645?-1701) was the victim of a frame-up. He Was hanged, guilty or not, near London on May 23, 1701.
The tune, and particularly the verse pattern, of this song has Been used for other songs, such as: "Samuel Hall", "The Pirates They Grow Small", and the American hymn, "Wonderous Love." This Version comes from Peter Seeger, who learned it in London from Steve Benbow. NOTE: Most versions have "My name is Robert Kidd etc." Nobody Seems to know where the "Robert" came from. RG
