Ceann -- Captain Kidd

Howdy, folks!

Had to re-upload the video. Youtube got the ending cut off by a second last time. Anyway..

Was originally planning to upload The Makem Brothers version of this song, but the store didn't have it, and iTunes version was messed up. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

It's by Ceann, hadn't heard of 'em until now, they ain't bad. It's off the album Making Friends. Enjoy!

--Lyrics--

[Chorus:]
My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Oh, my name is Captain Kidd, as I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And most wickedly, I did as I sailed

My father taught me well
To shun the gates of hell
But against him I rebelled as I sailed,
He stuck a bible in my hand
But I left it in the sand
And I pulled away from shore
As I sailed

[Chorus]

I murdered William Moore
And I left him in his gore
Twenty leagues away from shore
As I sailed
And even crueler still, his gunner I did kill
And his precious blood did spill
As I sailed

[Chorus]

I was sick and nigh to death
And I vowed at every breath
To walk in wisdom's path
As I sailed
But my commitment lasted not
For vows I had forgot
Oh damnation is my lot
As I sailed

To the execution dock
Lay my head upon the block
No more laws I will mock, as I sail
Take warning here and heed
To shun bad company
Or you'll end up just like me
As I sailed

[Chorus]

@d365670 Wikipedia pulls up the result that his piracy was under dispute due to he could have just been a privateer.
