The Jolly Rogers

The Jolly Rogers - Captain Kidd lyrics

Your rating:

My name was William Kidd,

As I sailed, as I sailed,

My name was William Kidd,

When I sailed,

My name was William Kidd;

God's laws I did forbid,

And so wickedly I did,

As I sailed. 

(last 2 lines X2) 

(1) (2)



I murdered William Moore,

As I sailed, as I sailed

Oh, I murdered William Moore,

As I sailed,

I murdered William Moore,

And laid him in his gore,

Thirty leagues from shore,

As I sailed. 

(last 2 lines X2) 



And being crueler still,

As I sailed, as I sailed

And being crueler still, 

As I sailed

The gunner I did kill

And his precious blood did spill

As I sailed



I was sick and nigh to death,

As I sailed, as I sailed

I was sick and nigh to death,

As I sailed,

I was sick and nigh to death,

And I vowed with every breath,

To walk in wisdom's ways,

When I sailed. 



(3)



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. 

(4 - 8)



To the Execution Dock,

I must go, I must go,

To the Execution Dock,

I must go,

To the Execution Dock,

While many thousands flock,

But I must bear the shock,

And must die.



(9,10)



My name was William Kidd,

As I sailed, as I sailed,

My name was William Kidd,

When I sailed,

My name was William Kidd;

God's laws I did forbid,

And so wickedly I did,

As I sailed.
