Dave Van Ronk - The Cruel Ship's Captain şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Dave Van Ronk

albüm: The Mayor Of MacDougal Street: Rarities 1957-1969


One day this poor boy to me was bound apprentice
Because of his being fatherless
I took him out of St. James' Workhouse
His mother being in deep distress
I took him out of St. James' Workhouse
His mother being in deep distress
One day this poor boy unto me offended
But nothing to him I did say
Up to the main-mast shroud I sent him
And there I kept him all that long day
All with my garling-spikk I misused him
So shamefully I can't deny
All with my marling-spike I gagged him
Because I could not bear his cry
His face and his hands to me expanded
His legs and his thighs to me likewise
And by my barbarous cruel entreatment
This very next day this poor boy died
I asked my men if they'd release (?) me
If I'd give them golden store
Out of my cabin straightway they hauled me
A prisoner brought me on Bristol shore
And now in Newdigate I am confined
The writ of death I do deserve
If I had been ruled by my servants
This poor boy's life might have been preserved
You captains all throughout this nation
Hear a voice and a warning take by me
Take special care of your apprentice
While you are on the raging sea
