Cowboy Junkies - Captain Kidd Lyrics






My name was Captain Kidd, when I sailed, when I sailed
My name was Captain Kidd, when I sailed, when I sailed
And so wickedly I did
God's laws I did forbid

I roamed from sound to sound, and many ships I've found
I roamed from sound to sound, and many ships I've found
And that night I saw
??

I murdered William Moore and I laid him in his gore
I murdered William Moore and I laid him in his gore
And this I did to him
A-many leagues from shore

Farewell to young and old, the jolly sea ??
Farewell to young and old, the jolly sea ??
And welcome to my ??
And the open ?? door

Farewell to London town and the pretty girls around
Farewell to London town and the pretty girls around
My friends ??
In the garden can be found

Farewell, for I must die, I must die, I must die
Farewell, for I must die, I must die, I must die
And in my own misery I must lie, I must lie
I must lie, must lie, must lie, must lie

    Thanks for uploading this. I did a week's work experience in 1992 (?) and I took with me a 4 track Promo CD that came out at the same time as Black Eyed Man. I lost all my records and possessions about 10 years ago  - so thanks for the music :)

    This is so creative. To the folk song they wrote some extra verses, for example farewell to London town
