The Captain's Apprentice Lyrics & Tabs by Jim Moray
The Captain's Apprentice
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
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.
