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

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.
