letra de the cruel ship's captain - dave van ronk
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 sh0r-
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
