My name was Captain Kidd, when I sailed, when I sailed, And so wickedly I did, God's laws I did forbid, When I sailed, when I sailed. I roamed from sound to sound, And many a ship I found, And then I sunk or burned, When I sailed. I murdered William Moore, And laid him in his gore, Not many leagues from shore, When I sailed. Farewell to young and old, All jolly seamen bold, You're welcome to my gold, For I must die, I must die. Farewell to Lunnon town, The pretty girls all round, No pardon can be found, and I must die, I must die, Farewell, for I must die. Then to eternity, in hideous misery, I must lie, I must lie.
