The Captain's Apprentice
One day this poor boy unto me was bound apprentice Because of being so fatherless I took him out of St. James Workhouse His mother being in deep distress One day this poor boy unto me offended But nothing undo in they say Up to the main mast shroud I sent him And kept him there all that long day Oh with my marling spike, I misused him
And with the gasket rope I gagged him Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 barbarous, 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 When you are on the raging sea.
- Special thanks to Bex for correcting the lyric.
