La canzone si rifa a una ballata vecchia di secoli, il cui testo contiene le parole che lo stesso capitano William Kidd scrisse prima di andare alla forca! 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 Gods 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 shoved a bible in my hand But I left it in the sand And I pulled away from land, As I sailed [Chorus] I murdered William Moore And I left him in his gore Twenty leagues away from shore As I sailed, And being crueler still, the gunner I did kill All his precious blood did spill, As I sailed, [Chorus] I was sick and nigh to death, And I vowed at every breath, Oh to walk in wisdoms path, As I sailed But my repentance lasted not, My vows I soon forgot, Oh damnation is my lot, As I sailed. [Chorus] To the execution dock Lay my head upon the block, Laws no more Ill mock as I sail, So take warning here and heed To shun bad company Or youll wind up just like me As I sailed.
