The Ballad of William Kidd
Well me name was William Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Name was William Kidd
As I sailed
Oh me name was William Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Name was William Kidd
As I sailed
Oh me name was William Kidd
God's law I did forbid
And so wickedly I did
As I sailed, as I sailed
Wickedly I did
As I sailed
Oh me parents taught me well
As I sailed, as I sailed
Parents taught me well
As I sailed
Oh me parents taught me well
As I sailed, as I sailed
Parents taught me well
As I sailed
Oh me parents taught me well
To shun the gates of hell
But against them I rebelled
As I sailed, as I sailed
Against them I rebelled
As I sailed
I had ninety bars of gold
As I sailed, as I sailed
Ninety bars of gold
As I sailed
I had ninety bars of gold
As I sailed, as I sailed
Ninety bars of gold
As I sailed
I had ninety bars of gold
And dollars manifold
And riches uncontrolled
As I sailed, as I sailed
Riches uncontrolled
As I sailed
Well I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
Murdered William Moore
As I sailed
Oh I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
Murdered William Moore
As I sailed
Oh I murdered William Moore
And left him in his gore
Many leagues from shore
As I sailed, as I sailed
Many leagues from shore
As I sailed
Sailed
Well to Newgate I am cast
For to die, for to die
To Newgate I am cast
For to die
Well to Newgate I am cast
For to die, for to die
Newgate I am cast
For to die
Well to Newgate I am cast
With chains about me fast
This breath will be me last
For I die, for I die
Breath will be me last
For I die
As I sailed, as I sailed
Name was William Kidd
As I sailed
Oh me name was William Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Name was William Kidd
As I sailed
Oh me name was William Kidd
God's law I did forbid
And so wickedly I did
As I sailed, as I sailed
Wickedly I did
As I sailed
Oh me parents taught me well
As I sailed, as I sailed
Parents taught me well
As I sailed
Oh me parents taught me well
As I sailed, as I sailed
Parents taught me well
As I sailed
Oh me parents taught me well
To shun the gates of hell
But against them I rebelled
As I sailed, as I sailed
Against them I rebelled
As I sailed
I had ninety bars of gold
As I sailed, as I sailed
Ninety bars of gold
As I sailed
I had ninety bars of gold
As I sailed, as I sailed
Ninety bars of gold
As I sailed
I had ninety bars of gold
And dollars manifold
And riches uncontrolled
As I sailed, as I sailed
Riches uncontrolled
As I sailed
Well I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
Murdered William Moore
As I sailed
Oh I murdered William Moore
As I sailed, as I sailed
Murdered William Moore
As I sailed
Oh I murdered William Moore
And left him in his gore
Many leagues from shore
As I sailed, as I sailed
Many leagues from shore
As I sailed
Sailed
Well to Newgate I am cast
For to die, for to die
To Newgate I am cast
For to die
Well to Newgate I am cast
For to die, for to die
Newgate I am cast
For to die
Well to Newgate I am cast
With chains about me fast
This breath will be me last
For I die, for I die
Breath will be me last
For I die
