Jim Moray - The Captain's Apprentice lyrics

rate me

One day this poor boy and to me was bound apprentice

Because of being so fatherless

I took him out of St. James Workhouse

His mother being in big distress

One day this poor boy and to me offended

But nothing undo in they say

Up to the main must ... I sent him

And kept him there all that long day

Oh with my ... spike, I misused him

So shameful I won't deny

And with the ... rope I gagg-ed him

Because I could not bear his cries

His legs and hands on to me expanded

His pretty face to me like why

And by my barbaress cruel treatment

The very next day this young boy died

So come here captains, all throughout this nation

Hear voice in warning take by mean

Take special care of your apprentice

That you are wrong the raging sea.
