Captain Kidd Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O, my name was Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
O, my name was Captain Kidd
As I sailed
My name was Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And so wickedly I did
As I sailed, as I sailed
So wickedly I did
As I sailed

[Verse 2]
O, I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
O, I murdered William Moore
As I sailed
I laid him in his gore
Not many leagues from the shore
O, I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
I murdered William Moore
As I sailed

[Verse 3]
I spied three ships from Spain
As I sailed, as I sailed
O, I spied three ships from Spain
As I sailed
I spied three ships from Spain
And I fired on them a-main
And most of them I slain
As I sailed, as I sailed
And most of them I slain
As I sailed

[Verse 4]
Come all you young and old
See me die, see me die
Come all you young and old
See me die
You are welcome to my goal
And by it I lost my soul
Come all you young and old
I must die, I must die
Come all you young and old
I must die
